Can you tell me how contagious is alopecia areata: ophiasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not contagious: alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder than affects hair follicles, causing hair loss. It is not contagious (you can't give it to someone else), but it can progress in anyone who has it. You should see a dermatologist for help.
