adminAlopecia universalis or alopecia areata universalis is a medical condition involving rapid loss of all hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes. It is the most severe form of alopecia areata, with an incidence of 0,0005 percent, or one in 200 000 people.
Alopecia universalis can occur at any age, and is currently believed to be an autoimmune disorder.
There is no standard treatment for alopecia universalis. Spontaneous regrowth is always a possibility, even for those with 100 percent hair loss over many years. However, it is not possible to predict when regrowth will occur.
Many treatments have been explored, including immunomodulatory agents such as imiquimod. Tofacitinib citrate may also have benefits.
In June 2014, it was reported that a 25-year-old man with almost no hair on his body grew a full head of hair, and eyebrows, eyelashes, facial, armpit and other hair, following eight months of treatment. – Wikipedia.
