What is Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss. The condition can affect any hair-bearing area and may fluctuate over time. It is not contagious or life-threatening but can impact emotional wellbeing. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders and healthcare providers recognise your condition and treat you with sensitivity.
