Alopecia Areata

Introduction:

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease characterized by transient, non-scarring hair loss and preservation of the follicle. Hair loss can take many forms starting from loss in well-defined patches to diffuse or total hair loss, which may affect all hair-bearing sites. Patchy alopecia affecting the scalp is the commonest type. alopecia affects nearly 2% of the overall population at some point during their lifetime.

Skin biopsies of alopecia-affected skin show a lymphocytic infiltrate in and around the bulb or the lower part of the follicle in the anagen (hair growth) phase.
A breakdown of the immune privilege of the follicle is assumed to be a crucial driver of alopecia. Genetic studies in patients and mouse models showed that alopecia may be a complex, polygenic disorder.

Several genetic susceptibility loci were identified related to signaling pathways that are important to follicle cycling and development. alopecia is typically diagnosed based on clinical manifestations, but dermoscopy and histopathology are often helpful.

Alopecia is difficult to manage medically, but recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms have revealed new treatments and therefore the possibility of remission in the near future.

Here the importance of natural food and the importance of returning to Mother Earth appears, as the Hair Worlds site always provides a questionnaire and clarification of all external and internal factors affecting the health, growth, and beauty of hair.

Primary hair loss disorders:

1- Non-scarring Alopecias:

Non-scarring sorts of alopecia (also referred to as non-cicatricial alopecias) refer to hair loss due to changes in the hair cycle, follicle size, hair breakage, or a combination of those, with preservation of the hair follicle.

a- Male pattern hair loss (also referred to as androgenic alopecia):

Alopecia is characterized by a receding hairline and diffuse hair loss at the crown that affects 50% of men by age 50 and is genetically determined (polygenic) and androgen-dependent.

b- Female pattern hair loss:

Common and almost like male pattern hair loss but characterized by diffuse hair loss with preservation of frontal hairline and fewer well-defined etiology.

c- Telogen effluvium:

Excessive hair shedding, which presents either as an acute self-limiting form triggered by diverse events (for example, childbirth, febrile illness, major surgery, and rapid weight loss) or as a chronic type, related to female pattern hair loss.

d- Trichotillomania:

Hair-pulling impulse control disorder that’s characterized by irregular patches or tonsure patterns of hair loss with broken hairs that are firmly attached to the scalp.

c- Traction alopecia:

Hair loss due to chronic mechanical traction from hair styling, which is reversible in early stages but might become irreversible due to follicular deletion because of sustained traction.

d- Tinea capitis:

A curable disease caused by fungal infection presenting in children and is characterized by patchy hair loss with signs of scalp inflammation (such as erythema and scaling of the scalp, hair shaft infection, and the presence of fungi observed in pulled hair).

e- Short anagen syndrome:

Usually presents in childhood and is characterized by a standard density and hair strength, but minimal hair growth.

f- Lose anagen syndrome:

Usually presents in childhood and infrequently in adults and is characterized by slightly thinned, unruly, non-growing hair.

g- Temporal alopecia triangular:

A disorder that presents in newborn or young children and is characterized by a triangular or lancet-shaped bald spot with normal hair numbers, but only a few terminal hairs (most are vellus hairs).

2- Scarring Alopecias:

Scarring sorts of alopecia (also referred to as cicatricial alopecias) refer to sorts of hair loss during which hair follicles are destroyed due to inflammation, or rarely, malignancy (such as cutaneous lymphoma). Affected skin shows loss of follicular (the openings of the hair follicle through which the hair fiber emerges through the skin), but the early stages might resemble alopecia.

a- Lichen planopilaris:

A chronic inflammatory disease that causes permanent follicle destruction typically characterized by patchy hair loss on the scalp with discrete follicular erythema at the margins of bald patches and sometimes related to cutaneous and/or mucosal lichen planus (that is, non-infectious itchy rash).

b- Frontal fibrosing alopecia:

Sort of lichen planopilaris, but with a unique pattern of hair loss (in the frontal and frontotemporal hairline and eyebrows), typically affecting postmenopausal women.

c- Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus:

A subtype of lupus erythematosus that presents with an asymptomatic patch that evolves into scaly, indurated papules and gradually forms ill-defined, irregular, or round plaques with variable atrophy, follicular plugging, telangiectasia, and depigmentation.

d- Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia:

A condition is mainly seen in women of African ethnicity characterized by patchy scarring lesions starting at the posterior crown or vertex and increasing in a centrifugal pattern along the scalp; the etiology involves genetic and environmental factors, like African-American hairstyling techniques.

e- Folliculitis decalvans:

Inflammation of the follicle involving neutrophils and lymphocytes possibly as a reaction to Staphylococcus aureus colonization is characterized by patchy scarring hair loss with pustular lesions at the margins and mainly affects men.

3- Genetic hair disorders

Many syndromic and non-syndromic sorts of hair loss are due to single-gene mutations. The mutations can affect follicular development, normal hair cycling, and hair fiber fragility; most conditions are present from infancy or childhood.

Types of alopecia areata

  1. Patchy alopecia areata: one, multiple separate or conjoined (reticular) patches of hair loss.
  2. Alopecia totalis: total or near-total loss of hair on the scalp.
  3. Alopecia universalis: total to near-total loss of hair on all haired surfaces of the body.
  4. Alopecia incognita: diffuse total hair loss with positive pull test, yellow dots, short, miniaturized regrowing hairs, but without nail involvement.
  5. Ophiasis: hair loss in a band-like shape along the circumference of the head, more specifically along the border of the temporal and occipital bones.
  6. Sisaipho: extensive alopecia except around the periphery of the scalp.
  7. Marie Antoinette syndrome (also called canities subita): an acute episode of diffuse alopecia with very sudden “overnight” greying with preferential loss of pigmented hair.

Incidence and prevalence:

Alopecia areata affects approximately 2% of the overall population at some point during their lifetime, as documented by several large epidemiological studies from Europe, North America, and Asia, the prevalence of alopecia within the early 1970s was reported to be between 0.1% to 0.2% with a lifetime incidence of 1.7%.

One study in Olmsted County (Minnesota, USA) according to data collated between 1975–1989 from patients with alopecia who were seen by a dermatologist showed that overall incidence was 20.2 per 100,000 person-years, didn’t change with time, and had no sexual dichotomy.

A follow-up study of this population from 1990–2009 found that the cumulative incidence increased almost linearly with age in which the lifetime incidence of alopecia was 2.1%.

Although it’s generally considered that there’s no sexual dichotomy, some studies show that the prevalence seems to shift to women in patients >45 years aged. This skewed incidence could be an artifact since women might seek medical attention as they age quite men.

Indeed, other population surveys suggest that alopecia is slightly more common in men. One study found that men were more likely to be diagnosed at an earlier age than women. No studies have determined if alopecia prevalence is different between ethnic groups. Most studies report no significant differences within the age of onset, duration, or sort of alopecia by sex or ethnicity.

The onset of alopecia could be at any age; however, most patients develop the condition before the age of 40 years with a mean age of onset between 25 and 36 years. Early-onset alopecia (mean age of onset between ages 5–10 years) predominantly presents as a more severe subtype, like alopecia universalis.

Concurrent Diseases:

Alopecia areata is associated with several concurrent diseases (comorbidities) including depression, anxiety, and several autoimmune diseases including thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, and thyroiditis)
