Alopecia areata: Alopecia is the medical term for baldness. Areata means patchy. This patchy baldness can develop anywhere on the body, including the scalp, beard area, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, inside your nose, or ears.
Alopecia totalis : The person loses all hair on the scalp, so the scalp is completely bald.
Alopecia universalis: The person loses all hair, leaving the entire body hairless. This is rare.
It is caused by an abnormality in the immune system that damages hair follicles. This particular abnormality leads to autoimmunity, a misguided immune system that tends to attack its own body. As a result, the immune system attacks particular tissues of the body. In alopecia areata, for unknown reasons, the body’s own immune system attacks the hair follicles and disrupts normal hair formation.

This medication is applied directly to the bald spots once or twice daily as prescribed by your dermatologist. While effective, it tends to yield better results in children than in adults for hair regrowth.
Anthralin is another topical treatment that you apply to the affected areas. After leaving it on for the time recommended by your dermatologist, it should be washed off. The treatment may cause some skin irritation, but combining it with minoxidil can enhance results.
