    What is the medical term for someone who is permanently bald?

    Dr. Sravya Vuppalapati

    MBBS · 1 years of exp

    The medical term for someone who is permanently bald is "alopecia totalis" if all the hair on the scalp is lost, or "alopecia universalis" if hair loss extends to the entire body. These conditions are relatively rare and can result from autoimmune disorders where the body's immune system attacks hair follicles. They can also be caused by genetic factors. Treatment options for these conditions are limited, and people often choose to manage them with wigs or other cosmetic solutions.
