Answer: Alopecia Areata is an extremely common condition and will affect 1% to 2% of the population at some point in their lives. Most sufferers are children and young adults (below 40 years old), though it can affect people of all ages. The hair loss is sudden and manifests itself in small, smooth-skinned patches that are likely to gradually widen with time. It can also affect the sufferer’s nails, giving them a pitted, ridged or brittle appearance. The exact cause is still unknown, although current theories include an auto-immune disease, stress or suggest a genetic basis.

Answer: Seborrhoeic Cysts can be recognised as hard lumps under the scalp, which vary in size from that a pea to an egg. They are caused by a blockage of the sebaceous glands, often as a result of an injury. Sometimes a fatty excretion can be squeezed from the cyst, but care must be taken not to damage the skin.
