Total loss of hair of the scalp either within a very short period of time or from progression of localised alopecia, especially alopecia areata
Patients with alopecia areata lose hair on their scalp in smooth round patches typically causing bald spots about an inch (2cm) across. Sometimes the patches are larger, and the condition can include the loss of all hair on the head (alopecia totalis), and even the loss of hair on the head (alopecia totalis), and even the loss of
all hair on the body (alopecia universalis)
