Ophiasis - what does this mean
Ophiasis is a type of alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss. it is characterized by the loss of hair along the sides and lower part of the scalp in a band-like pattern, often accompanied by inflammation and itching.
What happens during the disease - ophiasis
Ophiasis is a form of alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, causing them to become inflamed and ultimately leading to hair loss. this inflammation triggers the release of certain cytokines, which further damage the hair follicles and impair their ability to produce hair. additionally, the body's own antibodies can attack the hair follicles, leading to further damage and hair loss.
