According to a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, two percent of the people worldwide are affected by alopecia areata. With alopecia areata, you start losing hair in small patches. This hair condition affects the scalp and can affect the eyebrows, eyelashes, and face as well when your immune system attacks the healthy hair follicles, it stops new hair growth, causing hair loss.
