What is the name of the disease which makes your hair fall?

Hi

Could you please tell me the name of the disease which makes all the hair on your body fall--including that of eyebrows and eyelashes. The pores of the hair completely disappear. Sometimes young children also suffer from it.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Tom

You do come up with interesting questions.
I found a disease called alopecia. Here is the Wikipedia write-up:

Maybe that's what you're looking for?

Lichen(there are many types of it) also has symptoms of baldness. But Amy’s variant seems by far the best to me.
