But the more specific"alopecia areata" is an autoimmune disease where a person's body and immune system attacks their own hair follicles, causing hair loss and sometimes changes to the fingernails and toenails.
The hair loss usually occurs in small, round patches, but in some cases it can be more extensive. It's most common on the scalp, but it can also occur in other areas like the beard or eyebrows., there may be short broken-off hairs at the edges of the patches of hair loss. Alopecia areata can range in severity. That term, more specifically, refers to patchy hair loss, while"alopecia totalis" is the term for"total loss of hair on the head," and"alopecia universalis" refers to"the complete loss of hair on the head, face and body," according to Yale. Total hair loss is the most rare version of the disease.
The condition can occur at any age, but is most common for people in their teens to thirties. Men and women get alopecia at about equal rates.In people with alopecia areata, the hair follicles -- the structures in skin that form hair --"release a chemical message that causes the immune system to attack them," leading to the hair falling out, Yale Medicine says.
Researchers believe it may be related to the genes that control the immune system, but further study of the disease is needed to determine the exact cause of alopecia.
You guys in the mainstream media can fix your mouth to talk about anybody's conduct and secondly nobody's going to sit back and let you talk about their wife on TV and not think that you going to get some type of repercussion!
who knew? I thought one black female legislator was undergoing chemo or something and wished her speedy recovery, not knowing she has the same issues as Jada.
No cares about Jada … Put a fucking wig problem solved
Ok but she wore a weave with a smile for August tho ? ✌🏾✌🏾👑✅
I don't really need to know. Thanks.
Nobody cares
clearly- the 'taken from a wrestling handbook signature move to gain an audience' worked- but- I've got a neighbor who has cost me $1000s of dollars by intentionally destroying my fences & lighting & I've yet to slap her- WHY? - because I'm not Will Smith- I would be arrested.
yall giving a pass for a internationally televised assault on a performer?
What a crock! I have had alopecia. Many people have it. It’s not terminal, it’s not debilitating. And they make wigs! Stop making the toxic couple martyrs!
let's shine a light on Alopecia but not condone the fragile masculinity of this man who did the slapping, being emasculated by your wife doesn't condone violence.
It didn’t lead to the slap. FFS.
How about google it if your that dense, nbc
Omg seriously nbc
All Black men know the line you don't cross. Chis Rock crossed that line, that's why he's not pressing charges.
I would call it violence - not a slap
The disease is called Toxic Masculinity.
