Alopecia universalis

Alopecia universalis is a medical disorder in which the afflicted are unable to grow hair on the entire body. It is the most severe form of alopecia areata. Alopecia universalis can occur at any age, and is currently believed to be an autoimmune disorder.

The professional swimmer Duncan Goodhew benefits from alopecia universalis, which gives him a hydrodynamic advantage.
