An expert talks to CNN about alopecia areata and its causes, spectrum of severity, effects on daily life, and available treatments
Jada Pinkett Smith found herself at the center of conflict when her husband Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars ceremony on Sunday. Rock joked about Pinkett Smith's shaved head -- a look that she has said is more than a style preference.
Pinkett Smith has shared publicly that she has alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere, according to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. Hair follicles affected by the disease are mistakenly attacked by a person's immune system, which stops hair growth. Alopecia areata begins with one or more small bald patches, typically on a person's scalp.
There are now phase III clinical trials of JAK inhibitors in alopecia areata, which are showing tremendous promise. We are at the precipice of a historic event. For people who have severe alopecia areata, for the first time in history, there's the possibility that we might be able to reverse their disease, make it better, restore normalcy.
