Alopecia Areata
A recent study shows it to have a lifetime incidence of 1.7% that makes it almost as common as psoriasis. 60% present with their first patch under the age of 20 years.
Studies show that although anxiety and depression do not play a major role in the etiopathogenesis of alopecia areata, stressful life events may trigger an exacerbation of the disease. A definitive diagnosis is essential and we request that all women see their own G P or local dermatologist.
