hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
The problem you are facing is
Alopecia Areata.
Alopecia areata is a skin disorder that causes hair loss, usually in patches, most often on the scalp. Usually, the bald patches appear suddenly and affect only a limited area. The hair grows back within 12 months or less. For some people, however, the problem can last longer and be more severe, causing total baldness (
alopecia totalis) or total loss of body hair (
alopecia universalis).
Treatment:-
Although there is no permanent cure for alopecia areata, there are ways that may short-circuit the body's autoimmune reaction in the scalp and encourage hair regrowth. Options include:
Cortisone cream applied on the bald patches or cortisone solution injected into the bald patches to suppress the immune reaction
Immunotherapy using chemicals such as
diphenylcyclopropenone (also called diphencyprone or DCP) or squaric acid dibutyl ester (SADBE) on the scalp that can produce an
allergic reaction, which may neutralize the turned-on immune cells.
Topical minoxidil (Rogaine), which may increase hair growth by accelerating the speed of the natural hair cycle and increasing the diameter of hairs that begin to grow.
Anthralin (Drithocreme, Dritho-Scalp, Micanol) applied to the scalp, which causes a
scalp irritation that may stimulate early hair regrowth, and can be used with minoxidil
Psoralen and ultraviolet A phototherapy (controlled exposure of the affected skin to ultraviolet light)
A short course of
corticosteroids such as prednisone by mouth, rarely intravenously through a vein for adult patients with extensive hair loss.
hope this was helpful.
have a healthy day.
