Alopecia areata (AA) is a non-scarring hair loss with an unpredictable course and a wide spectrum of manifestations. It affects both genders equally with a cumulative lifetime incidence of about two percent and no significant racial predominance [6]⁠. The most frequent clinical presentation of AA is in single or multiple patches. The characteristic patch of AA is usually round or oval and is completely bald and smooth. Occasionally, AA may progress to complete baldness, which is referred to as alopecia (areata) totalis (AT). When the entire body suffers from complete hair loss, it is referred to as alopecia (areata) universalis (AU). Ophiasis is a form of AA characterized by the loss of hair in the shape of a wave ataround the circumference of the head [7].
