Alopecia refers to the partial or complete loss of hair, which can occur on the scalp or other parts of the body. It can be temporary or permanent and may result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, medical treatments (such as chemotherapy), and stress. There are different types of alopecia, each with its characteristics and causes.

A mild score typically indicates relatively minor hair loss or thinning, often with minimal impact on overall hair density or coverage. This may involve isolated patches of hair loss or thinning in specific areas of the scalp. The condition may be less noticeable and may not significantly affect the individual's appearance or self-esteem. 

LOW: Lower Severity 

A moderate score typically indicates noticeable hair loss or thinning that may be more widespread across the scalp, potentially affecting multiple areas. This level of severity can lead to increased self-consciousness and concern about appearance. 

MODERATE: Intermediate Severity

A severe score indicates extensive and pronounced hair loss or thinning, potentially affecting large areas of the scalp or even leading to complete baldness. This level of severity can significantly impact an individual's appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life. Severe alopecia often requires comprehensive treatment strategies, including medical interventions, to manage the condition effectively and address the underlying causes of hair loss.
