Diffuse Alopecia Areata

Diffuse alopecia areata. Diffuse alopecia areata is rare. Chronic periodical loss of hair or the male type baldness in a woman are more frequently the cause of this type of extended parting. A healthy scalp and a lack of documentedly effective treatments are common features in all these cases. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) should always be checked.
