Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disease, causing sudden hair loss on the scalp, face, and sometimes other areas of the body. There are different levels of alopecia areata severity. The three main types of alopecia areata are patchy, alopecia totalis (total hair loss on the scalp), and alopecia universalis (total hair loss on the body).
