Alopecia (lat. a lopecia - baldness, baldness) is pathological hair loss and a serious psychological problem for humans.
The most common form of baldness is androgenetic alopecia, which occurs in both men and women. Approximately 95% of all balding people have this form.
The second most common is alopecia areata (up to 4%). It can occur in men, women, and children. It usually starts with a few hairless circles appearing on the scalp, but sometimes other areas, such as the eyebrows and beard, are affected. Bald spots can “move” over time, or they can become overgrown.
All other types of alopecia combined account for less than 1%.
