According to a doctor, alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease affecting around 50,000 individuals in Taiwan, with most experiencing recurrence within 5 years. Severe cases can result in hair loss not only on the scalp but also in areas like eyebrows, eyelashes, and other hairy regions on the body, termed 'universal baldness.' Early onset of the condition, widespread hair loss, or multiple patches indicate poorer prognosis if treatment is delayed. It is advised to seek medical attention for irregular hair loss of unknown cause to determine if it could be due to an autoimmune disorder.
