The follicles stay alive, which means hair can always grow back. But because the immune system flares without warning, hair can fall out just as quickly.

Healing isn't a simple before-and-after; it is a frustratingly unpredictable cycle.

If you’re living with alopecia, consider joining our active trials to help advance alopecia care.

When a flare hits, paying attention to what you feel is just as important as watching what you see.

Jotting down whether a patch burns, itches, or stays painless gives your doctor a clearer picture of which treatment will actually bring relief.

Flares aren't always triggered by sun or stress - sometimes, everyday medications play a role.

Drug-induced lupus (and medication-triggered cutaneous lupus) can occur after starting certain prescription drugs, including specific blood pressure medications, antibiotics, or anti-arrhythmics. Symptoms often look like classic lupus skin rashes, but they require a careful evaluation with your healthcare provider to manage safely.

Indiana University is currently enrolling participants for ongoing lupus clinical trials. You can help advance autoimmune research and care by participating.

Same condition, completely different presentation.

Androgenetic alopecia is driven by genetic sensitivity to androgens, but how it shows up often depends on biological s*x:

In men: Hair thinning typically begins at the temples and hairline, eventually progressing to a receding "M" shape or a bald patch at the crown.

In women: Thinning is usually diffuse, most noticeable as a widening part along the center of the scalp, while the frontal hairline rarely recedes.

Having vitiligo doesn’t mean your immune system is weak or that you catch colds more easily.

It actually means your immune system is working overtime, it just gets confused and targets healthy pigment cells by mistake.

Indiana University is currently enrolling participants for active vitiligo clinical trials. You can help advance dermatology care by participating.
