Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata: Some of you may be puzzled as to what the hell it is?.And what am I trying to reveal? But before I unfold the shock let me take you through a droll humour. Last week I visited Scooby and with fake sombreness he denounced “he is suffering from “Alopecia Areata” (alope‧cia ar‧e‧a‧ta ).It made me believe it is some kind of cancer or it is a nick name for AIDS or if it’s not that, It would definitely be something as serious .Often we tend to assume ,things with colossal names like this one are quite damaging or injurious and Scooby was successful in his scheme to dupe me in .
Scooby had grown a small (real small like a tip of your fingernail) hairless patch under his chin, for which he had been quite vigilant. Doctor had advised him of the above virus which could be killed in number of ways .For more info visit http://www.niams.nih.gov/hi/topics/alopecia/alopecia.htm
you’d be surprised to know how common it is. This small incident had “Alopecia Areata” spinning in my head for the last 4-5 days I decided to do research? Every information helps and the moral of the story is .We learn something everyday! Don’t we?
Note: - I have chosen a dummy name Scooby to conceal the identity of the original person and if there is any resemblance to any real Scooby with real “Alopecia Areata” it would merely be coincidental .
