What Causes Alopecia Areata?

Alopecia areata is a kind of hair loss that can affect both children and adults. It is non-scarring, which means it does not injure the hair follicle and has the potential to restore hair. It is classified as an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and hair loss. While hair loss is most frequent on the scalp, hair loss may occur elsewhere on the body. Alopecia areata just affects the hair and nails and causes no other health issues.

The immune system wrongly assaults hair follicles in alopecia areata, producing inflammation. Researchers do not completely understand what triggers the immunological attack on hair follicles, but they suspect that both hereditary and non-genetic (environmental) variables are involved.
 

Do you suffer from the following?

Bald spots on your head or elsewhere on your body.

Patches may become bigger and join together to form a bald spot.

Hair grows back in one area while falling out in another.

You lose a lot of hair in a short period of time.

The cold temperature may cause more hair loss.

Finger and toenails get red, brittle, and pitted.

How Can We Alopecia Areata?

Some regions of hair loss restore hair on their own, without the need for medication. Most patients and families, on the other hand, are ready to try treatment to speed hair regeneration. The therapy chosen is based on the patient's age, the depth of the hair loss, the duration of the hair loss, and other medical conditions.
 

Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications used to treat autoimmune disorders. When there is a lot of hair loss or it occurs more than once, topical immunotherapy is employed. Medication used to treat other autoimmune illnesses is another option for therapy. Revitalis dermatologists may recommend topical steroids, steroid injections, topical minoxidil (Rogaine), topical irritants and immunology, or immune-suppressing medicines.
