development of small dents or depressions on the surface of the nails.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Itching (Pruritus):<\/strong> In rare cases, individuals may experience itching in the affected areas, adding a sensory aspect to the condition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change in color:<\/strong> The patches might change color, manifesting as red, purple, brown, or gray areas, contributing to the varied appearance of the affected skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visible openings in hair follicles (follicular ostia):<\/strong> Uncommonly, visible openings resembling mouths may appear in the hair follicles, providing a unique and identifiable characteristic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Presence of black dots:<\/strong> Some cases may involve the presence of black dots, which are hair shafts visible within the follicular ostia. These are known as cadaver hairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exclamation point hairs:<\/strong> Another rare occurrence involves the growth of short hairs that are thicker at the top and narrow toward the scalp, resembling exclamation points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>White hair growth:<\/strong> In certain instances, affected areas may exhibit the growth of white hairs, further adding to the diverse manifestations of Alopecia Areata<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"causes-of-alopecia-areata\">Causes of Alopecia Areata<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Alopecia Areata&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es\/blog\/caida-del-cabello\/causes-of-alopecia-areata\/\">causa<\/a> is complex and multifaceted, often triggered by environmental factors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es\/blog\/caida-del-cabello\/alopecia-areata-stress-management\/\">stress<\/a>, injury, or illness.&nbsp;<br><br>However, in many cases, the exact cause remains unknown.&nbsp;<br><br>Researchers have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pfizer.com\/disease-and-conditions\/alopecia-areata#:~:text=Alopecia%20areata%20can%20be,type%20of%20eczema)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">established<\/a> that Alopecia Areata is fundamentally an autoimmune disease.&nbsp;<br><br>A specific group of genes, known as the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) complex, has been identified in association with the condition.&nbsp;<br><br>Variations in genes within the HLA complex may play a role in the development of Alopecia Areata.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-soft\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#073d11;border-radius:10px;\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#3A7044;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:8px;border-top-right-radius:8px\">\u00bfLo sab\u00edas?<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:8px;border-bottom-right-radius:8px\">Human Leukocyte Antigen genes, crucial for immune system regulation, also influence body odor.
