Hi,
You said you have alopecia areata. I would like to inform you that alopecia areata is an autoimmune skin disease characterised by sudden appearance of bald patches on scalp,beard or moustache. Other hairy areas may be affected too.exact cause is not known. But, I assure you that masturbation never causes alopecia areata.
Local application of irritant like neopsoralen lotion might improve the disease.
Intradermal steroid injection is other modality to cure the disease. Immunomodulator like levamisole may be taken. You consult dermatologist and have perfect treatment.
Thanks.
