Could someone please explain to me what Universal Alopecia is, what causes it, and what treatment options are available? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Q: What is the difference between universal alopecia and alopecia areata?

The main difference between universal alopecia and alopecia areata is that universal alopecia is a rare form of hair loss that affects the entire scalp and body, while alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss. Universal alopecia is caused by a variety of conditions, including hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorder, genetic factors, or a reaction to medications. Alopecia areata, on the other hand, is caused by an immune system disorder that causes the body's immune system to mistakenly attack the hair follicles, resulting in sudden and unpredictable hair loss. The treatment options for both conditions vary and may include topical medications, light therapy, and medications to regulate the hormones or immune system.
