What are the Signs and Symptoms of Alopecia?
The most obvious first symptom of alopecia is the appearance of thinning patches on the scalp or other areas of the body where hairs tend to grow, which can often be accompanied by a painful tingling sensation. Another sign of alopecia is what’s commonly known as “exclamation-point characteristics” of hair strands; in other words, hair strands that are distinctly narrower the closer they are to the base.
