alopecia areata is it caused by autoimmune cross-targeting?

So the pattern for my autoimmune hypothesis is an infection that generates antibodies first by changing what it looks like. (pigment or morphology) Then a viral infection generates antibodies that induces cross-targeting.  Antibodies from 2 different types of infections induces the autoimmune disease.

Alopeica aterata is an autoimmune hair loss from a follicle on skin. Thus the cross-targeting must focus on the skin.  

Any infection of the skin could if more then one morphology or pigment was produced stimulating the immune system.

 vitiligo:  fungal
Rheumatoid arthritis: mycoplasmas

in some cases alopecia overlaps RA and diabetes where i have already suspected Mycoplasmas but i have not found a reference of direct connection between mycoplasmas and alopecia yet but i have them infecting the scalp

A toxin could replace the skin infection because it still draws the immune system to the skin

Any viral skin infection could cause the cross-targeting but one really seems to stand out is Herpes.

The virus that seems to come up the most:
Herpes zoster

This is an unproven hypothesis but alopecia areata fits the pattern I am testing on autoimmune diseases with. An infection generating antibodies followed by a virus causing cross-targeting. 

2016 update...we need to sort throught the HLAs
HLA-C alopecia

HLA-C is the Tcell mailbox for the endoplasmic recticulum
