Hair Changes:
- Alopecia Areata often starts with sudden hair loss in round or oval patches on the scalp, but it can also affect areas like the beard, eyebrows, or eyelashes.
- The patches may have short, broken hairs at the edges that look like exclamation points.
- Usually, there’s no redness, rash, or scarring in the hairless areas, though some people might feel tingling, burning, or itching before hair falls out.
