Not every type of Alopecia is Contagious... Alopecia can be divided in 2 big categories: Non-Scarring Alopecia (the most common) and Scarring Alopecia. One of the subtypes of Scarring Alopecia is Infectious Alopecia and can be produced by several agents: fungal (Kerion, candidiasis, favus, tinea corporis), bacterial (syphilis, leprosy, acne necrotic) viral (herpes, varicella); protozoa (Leishmaniasis). It is important to recognise though that this condition is quite uncommon these days. Alopecia is hardly ever due to an infection and is therefore, generally speaking, not a contagious condition.
