Round shaped hair loss is temperal. Temporal means that the hair loss is less
effected by genetic factors comparatively but more affected by the weakness of
liver and heart. The weakness is also comes from the fatigue of mental stress.
So alopecia areata is shown more in young people and in female.
Why so?
First, females have more interest in their hair or their children's hair. So they
find the hair loss easily than males.
Second, young girls are weaker to mental stress than old women because they
have not enough power to face unhappy things.
It is usual for the first child to feel the loss of love when the second child is
born. Lots of family members and relatives give their attentions to new born baby.
This is natural to the family but very critical situation to the first child who has
been in spotlight. This mental stress appears inner ( abdominal pain, hair loss,
light tics and so on) and outer. ( angry, nervous, crying )
The major cause of round shaped hair loss is mental stress. But its treatment
is necessary because it might be developed permanently without
fittable treatment.
This case is for 6 years old girl whose alopecia areata surely appeared after
her sister getting affection from the neighbors.
