1. Look at the symptoms
Alopecia areata vera: It is characterized by sudden round and oval hair loss on the scalp. First, hair loss can occur anywhere in the body, but most of it occurs in the head. In other words, alopecia areata usually occurs in the scalp, but it can also occur in other parts, such as eyebrows, whiskers, etc., but it is relatively rare.
Pseudoalopecia areata: The symptoms look like alopecia areata, but they also appear inadvertently in 1-2 round, oval or irregular patches of hair loss areas on the scalp, with clear boundaries, which can gradually expand and fuse. There are no conscious symptoms on the scalp, but the bald part looks bright.
2. Look at features
Alopecia areata vera: The appearance of the scalp in the hair loss area is normal, without atrophy, the hair follicle mouth is clear, and the hair at the hair loss edge is loose, easy to pull out and fall off.
Pseudoalopecia areata: The hair at the hair loss part is smooth and shiny, shrunken like tissue, slightly sunken, the hair follicle mouth is not clear, and the hair at the hair loss edge is not loose.
3. Look at the reason
Causes of alopecia areata: autoimmune diseases, heredity, nerve damage, mental disorders, infections, endocrine disorders, etc. can all lead to alopecia areata.
Pseudoalopecia areata: the cause is not clear, it may be an independent disease of unknown origin, or it may be secondary to some skin diseases that cause atrophic scar of scalp.
