Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes sudden hair loss in patches, impacting individuals of all ages. Dr. Virendra Singh, a renowned dermatologist and skin specialist in Bhopal, outlines the key symptoms to watch for:

Patchy Hair Loss: The most common symptom is one or more circular or oval patches of hair loss on the scalp or other areas.

Changes in Hair Texture: Affected areas may show hair that is softer and finer, or even white in color, before falling out.

Unusual Nail Changes: Some patients may experience pitting, ridges, or a change in nail texture.

Itching or Tingling Sensation: Before hair loss occurs, some individuals report a sensation of itching or tingling in the affected areas.

Eyebrow and Eyelash Loss: Alopecia areata can also affect facial hair, leading to loss of eyebrows and eyelashes.

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult Dr. Virendra Singh for an accurate diagnosis and effective skin treatment options. Early intervention can help manage the condition and promote hair regrowth. Your journey to healthier hair starts here!
