[ICD 10 Search] Alopecia areata Image:Alopecia areata head.jpg ICD-10 ICD-O: ICD-9 OMIM MedlinePlus eMedicine DiseasesDB Alopecia areata ("baldnessin spots") is a form of hair lossfrom areas of the body, usually from the scalp . Because it causes bald spots on the head especially in the first stages, it is also called spot baldness . Hair loss can extend to eyebrows , eyelashesand facial and nasal hair and create more bald spots elsewhere in the body. Alopecia areata monolocularis describes baldness in only one spot, alopecia areata multilocularis refers to multiple areas of hair loss. If the patient loses all the hair on his/her scalp, the disease is then called Alopecia areata totalis . If all body hair, including pubic hair , is lost, the diagnosis then becomes Alopecia areata universalis . The disease may also be limited only to the beard ( Alopecia areata barbae ). A possible condition called Diffuse alopecia areata may cause a person with mixed grey and dark hairs to lose all their dark hairs at once due to a psychological trauma , causing the patient's hair to appear to have turned white overnight.

Alopecia Areata Understanding and Coping with Hair Loss WENDY THOMPSON, M.A. JERRY SHAPIRO, M.D. FOREWORD BY VERA H. PRICE, M.D. Alopecia areata is a poorly understood, unpredictable disorder that affects more than 2.5 million men, women, and children in the United States and Canada. Causing patchy hair loss on the scalp and sometimes elsewhere on the body, this mysterious, noncontagious condition can be treated, but it cannot yet be cured. Alopecia Areata: Understanding and Coping with Hair Loss New drug therapies and their side effects, from topical and systemic immunotherapy to minoxidil, anthralin, and photochemotherapy Current research on experimental treatments Medical counsel about alternative remedies Thompson and Shapiro also offer practical strategies for living with alopecia areata, which can go into and out of remission without any apparent reason. They discuss the physical and psychological adjustments to wearing a hairpiece and give pointers on selecting, securing, and maintaining a wig, whether human hair or synthetic, custom- or ready-made. They also discuss how to deal with insurance companies to get compensation for a hairpiece. Alopecia Areata includes a chapter devoted to the special needs of children with this condition and concludes with an epilogue that tells the story of a day in the life of a woman with alopecia areata, illustrating the various challenges she faces and the strategies she uses to cope with them. With frankness, hope, and good humor, Thompson and Shapiro strive to enhance the lives of people suffering from alopecia areata and to ease the pain that comes with living in a world that often values external appearances over all else.

McMichael Lisa Gallagher Vicki Kalabokes ... Next Helping a patient cope with a frustrating and unpredictable disease like alopecia areata can be a difficult task for many dermatology nurses. The disease, which may result in total or partial loss of body hair, currently has no cure. There is no treatment that works effectively for everyone. Therefore, the disease is often devastating to patients and their families, especially to children and their parents. Patients, no matter what their age, frequently suffer from psychological trauma and are desperately looking for help. Nurses want to be supportive, but often run out of options. Alopecia areata is a T-cell mediated disease that appears to be autoimmune related. It occurs in both sexes and all races and ages, from newborns to adults. It usually starts with one or more small, round patches on the scalp. About 3% to 4% of people lose all the hair on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or over the entire body, including the eyebrows and eyelashes (alopecia universalis).

[ click a disease picture to see larger view ] Alopecia Areata Alopecia areata (AA) is the patchy loss of hair on the scalp or body. It can occur at any age and affects 1% of the population, most commonly children. The reasons for its development are not fully understood. Although not life threatening, the hair loss can be psychologically traumatic. Scientists think AA is an autoimmune disease where white blood cells from the immune system attack hair follicles and keep them from producing hairs. Autoimmune disease occurs when a patient's immune system mistakenly thinks that part of his or her own tissue is diseased. The tissue is then attacked. The end result depends on how effectively the tissue defends itself as it tries to grow back normally. Usually, dermatologists diagnose AA by close examination of the scalp, and considering, then eliminating other hair loss causes. Typical AA starts as a smooth bald patch that suddenly appears. Some people feel a tingling sensation or very mild pain in the affected area. The scalp is the most commonly noticed area, but AA can form anywhere on the body: eyelashes, armpits, leg hairs, etc. AA spreads out on the edges as it grows, with the hairs on the edges thinning out at the roots until they fall out. The stubble left at the edge is thin at the bottom and is said to look like an exclamation mark (!). As long as hair can be easily pulled out, the AA is active and further hair loss should be expected. More hair in the comb means more spots.

Dermatology, Inc. Home Medical Conditions Alopecia Areata Alopecia Areata Alopecia areata is usually round spots of hair loss. Most often occurs on the scalp; but can involve eyelashes, eyebrows and the beard area. No single cause is known but thought to be an autoimmune condition which results in inflamed hair follicles and cause the hairs to fall out. Most patients are completely healthy, it may begin abruptly and may affect both children and adults. Most courses of alopecia areata last many months to a year or two. Treatment Options: Many treatments have been used for alopecia areata, but no cure is known. Most of the treatments work by cutting down the white blood cells which inflame the hair roots and cause them to fall out; therefore , a lot of time is required to see possible effects of therapy. Hair growth is slow (about 1/2 inch per month). Other Common Conditions Acne Actinic Keratoses Aging / Sun Damaged Skin Alopecia Areata ...
