Pattern of Hair Loss in Alopecia Areata is different from Male pattern Baldness. Usually hair loss more on one side of scalp(Head).Hairs loss is Rapid in this condition. Alopecia Areata is an Autoimmune disorder, it means body's own immunity produces antibodies against hair roots. And those antibodies destroy the hair roots .Usually hair falls in patches.
