When these cells [of your hair follicles] are damaged, they diminish in size and no longer have the ability to stimulate hair growth. This hair disorder mostly affects young people aged 20 and below, however, children and older adults can also be impacted. It affects both men and women equally.
Although there is no cure for Alopecia Areata, but Alopecia Areata can be treated.
