Do you see lot of hair on your pillow or hair-brush? Or have you noticed odd little bald spots, then you might be suffering from auto-immune disorder. An autoimmune disease develops when the immune system mistakes healthy cells for foreign substances. Normally, the immune system defends your body against foreign materials such as viruses and bacteria.

If due to autoimmune disorder, your hair is attacked and leads to heavy loss, then you are suffering from alopecia.

Alopecia areata is a disease that causes hair to fall out in small patches, which can remain unnoticeable. These patches may eventually connect and then become noticeable, however. This disease develops when the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

Causes

Immune system and genetics play key role in causing Alopecia.

Diagnosis

Scalp biopsy is conducted if alopecia is suspected. Other blood tests might be conducted in case some other autoimmune disorder is suspected. Generally Scalp biopsy is enough to confirm Alopecia. In this biopsy, doctor removes a small skin from your scap for examination.
