Hair loss disorder. Multiple patches of alopecia areata on the scalp of a 45 year old man. This form of hair loss occurs due to an autoimmune attack on the hair follicles. It can affect men and women equally and there is no effective treatment. The hair usually returns to normal within a few months but some cases, such as this, can be recurrent.
