Aproximately 1% of the population will have had alopecia areata by the age of 50 and the peak incidence occurs in children and young adults. All body hair may be affected including lashes and brows. Alopecia areata is a systemic disease with frequent involvement of nails or eyes. Alopecia areata has been associated with atopic dermatitis, autoimmune disease, vitiligo, and endocrine disease. The pathogenesis is unclear. There is no excellent therapy for alopecia areata although many interventions are tried. Immunotherapy with diphenylcyprone is currently being optimistically evaluated. The harmful psychological effects of alopecia areata in children must be anticipated and prevented.
到50岁时，约1%的人口会患斑秃，其发病高峰出现在儿童和年轻人中。包括睫毛和眉毛在内的所有体毛都可能受到影响。斑秃是一种全身性疾病，常累及指甲或眼睛。斑秃与特应性皮炎、自身免疫性疾病、白癜风和内分泌疾病有关。其发病机制尚不清楚。虽然尝试了许多干预措施，但目前尚无治疗斑秃的理想方法。目前人们对二苯环丙烯酮免疫疗法进行着积极评估。必须预见并防止斑秃对儿童产生的有害心理影响。
