Loss of hair on your head or beard in small circles is a concern for many. Although it is commonly called ‘worm’, the real causes may be:
Changes in the immune system (Autoimmune condition): The main reason for this is that the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. This prevents hair growth and causes hair loss in circles.
Excessive psychological stress: Severe stress or sudden mental trauma can accelerate hair loss. This happens because stress affects the immune system.
Genetic causes: If someone in the family has this type of hair loss problem or other autoimmune diseases, it is more likely to occur.
Other health problems: People with thyroid disorders, anemia, and certain types of allergies can experience hair loss in circles.
Nutritional deficiency: Lack of zinc, biotin, and protein, which are essential for hair health, weakens the hair roots.
