5.Ophiasis type of alopecia areata shows a band like hair loss. It occurs mostly in the temporal or the occipital regions of the scalp and is therefore more difficult to treat, as most medicines have a delayed action on these areas. Ophiasis type of alopecia is identified by a turban or snake like pattern on the periphery of the scalp. Ophiasis in Greek means serpent and this is how the disease gets its name.

As I have told some of you, I, just this week, finally found a name for the hair loss that I have, and finally also found some names and faces to go along with it as well as my own. Just when you think you are the ONLY one, you realize, yes, this is a big world, and surely someone else has the same thing. Oh, sure, I also have female pattern hairloss, but the issue I didn't have any information on was the ophiasis pattern....I at least know now I am not alone in this.
