What causes alopecia?

Alopecia areata

Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that occurs when your bodies immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles , which is where hair growth begins. The damage to the follicle is usually not permanent. Experts do not know why the immune system attacks the follicles.

Telogen effluvium

Telogen effluvium is a common type of alopecia where there is widespread thinning of the hair, rather than specific bald patches. Your hair may feel thinner, but you're unlikely to lose it all and your other body hair isn't usually affected.

Telogen effluvium can be caused by your body reacting to:

• hormonal changes, such as those that take place when a woman is pregnant

• intense emotional stress

• intense physical stress, such as childbirth

• a short-term illness, such as a severe infection or an operation

• a long-term illness, such as cancer or liver disease

• changes in your diet, such as crash dieting

• some medications, such as anticoagulants (medicines that reduce the

ability of your blood to clot) or beta-blockers (used to treat a number of

conditions, such as high blood pressure)
