Alopecia acreta vs Alopecia Totalis vs androgenic - zarra - ArchivalUser - 10-31-2006
Does anyone know the exact differences between Alopecia Acreta, Alopecia Totalis and Androgenic Alopecia
This is what I have so far: (but dont know if its right)
Acreta - is AA, get oval patches of hair loss with expand to include areas of the scalp. (assoc with anti-microsomal ABs)
Totalis - involves the entire scalp
Androgenic Alopecia - hormone induced, involves males and females, is male pattern baldness
Thanks so much guys!!!

Thx cd45.
I am sure you will do very well........in Step1.
Alopecia areata is due to some autoimmune aetiology...then should we prescribe prednisolone?
