Alopecia areata: a recurrent manifestation of hair loss
The main thing is to contact a competent specialist in time
The problem of alopecia, or baldness, in men and women is becoming more and more relevant in the XXI century. Improper nutrition, constant stress, poor ecology and other negative factors of life in megacities worsen the condition of the body in general, and hair in particular. Fortunately, alopecia is treatable.
According to the ACE (Alopecia Areata Consensus of Experts), alopecia areata is a relapsing autoimmune condition in which hair loss occurs in waves in varying degrees in genetically susceptible individuals in response to as yet unknown environmental triggers. This is a non-scarring type of alopecia with a prevalence of 0.1-0.2% of the population at some point in life. It most often occurs in children and young people aged 30 to 40 years, although it can appear at any time, regardless of gender.

According to DJ Tobin (Bradford, SB) and colleagues, the main candidate gene for HA trichohyalin (TCHH) is of no apparent significance.
The frequency of this disease has been increasing for more than 20 years. The prevalence of celiac disease in the population varies from one in 100 to one in 300 people in different parts of the world.
