The damage to the follicle is usually not permanent. Experts do not know why the immune system attacks the follicles. The signs of Alopecia: patchy hair loss, “exclamation mark” hairs, widespread hair loss, and nail problems. Alopecia Awareness is here be confident and feel good about yourself!
Who gets Alopecia Areata?
People can have this type of hair loss at any stage. It often begins in childhood; some patients with alopecia have a family member who also has a disease.
What causes Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune means that the body’s immune system attacks the body. When alopecia Areata develops, the body attacks its own hair follicles.
Treatments for Alopecia Areata:
The most common form of alopecia areata treatment is the use of corticosteroids, powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that can suppress the immune system. These can be administered through local injections (most common), topical ointment application, or orally.
Although some of these may help with the re-growth of hair, they cannot prevent the formation of new bald patches. Some people turn to alternative treatment methods such as acupuncture and aromatherapy, although there is little if any, evidence to support these treatments.
