Hair Loss Remedies and Treatment

Question by Knarkill: Its been a year and my alopecia areata still isn’t gone?
A year ago I got two patches on the back sides of my head, and they barely filled in. For a while I was using topical steroids, but I just gave up. I was wondering if I should try to get steroid injections. Ever since I got alopecia I have been very depressed and have been in a shell. I am very self conscious about the alopecia and I am constantly trying to avoid being scene. It has been like this for a whole year. I am about to start college this upcoming fall, and I wanted this problem to be gone. Is there anything I can do, or should I just give up? And should I see a therapist to get me over the anxiety I have over the alopecia?

Hey darling listen to me now. I had alopecia areata about two years ago and when I found my two patches, I nearly lost it. I was a wreck. My doctor injected quarterzone shots into my head where the hair wasn’t growing. I had to have two different sessions done but seriously my hair has grown back and I’m perfectly fine now! =) topical solutions don’t work as well as the shots fyi. Good luck and go get some quarterzone shots!

Question by lalalala: androgenic alopecia & hair transplant *15 yrs old*?
i have a very important question to ask. first off, i am a female (15) and since i was 12 years old, my hair has been thinning tremendously. it was in april that a dermatologist did a scalp biopsy on me, and told me that i have androgenetic alopecia. right now i am taking spironolactone (50mg), applying rogaine 2x daily, using amla powder, and i am on birth control pills. Instead of seeing improvement, I have noticed that my scalp shows more, and i am thinning in places where i used to have hair, in the beginning of this condition. I really want to get a hair transplant, and I haven’t found out any answers as to if you can get a hair transplant if you are under 18. I know that there’s only three more years, but this condition has taken a huge toll on me, and it has changed my life completely. I was also curious if any of you guys who have had a hair transplant are pleased with your results. any advice would help, thank you all.

Answer by Someone.
i’m a female, 16, and have alopecia areata.
i’ve gone through the same thoughts myself about getting a hair transplant, etc. but i currently wear a wig.
i’ve tried rogaine, and it didn’t do anything for me, and i’ve also had steroid shots [20-40 at a time] injected in my head, and had no improvement.
the disease has taken its toll on me too, but i’ve joined a online support group for alopecia,

www.alopeciaworld.com

maybe you could join, and ask other people with alopecia the same question?

When in doubt, start with your family doctor for a consultation. If there is anyone else that you need to see, you’d get a referral from him/her.

Question by worth2be_lovedGURL: Need help in alopecia areata treatment(guidelines/suggestion in diet area)?
I’ve been facing a moderate level of hair loss and its believed to be alopecia areata. I consulted the doctor and they gave me tablets to consume and cream to apply. My scalp is much more recovered now, but not noticing it will still come back, as the bald spot went to the other surface on my scalp, and now I had to take a good care of my hair again. No dying, straightening, perm or styling. It seems very fragile. May I know what is the root cause of alopecia areata and what can be done to prevent it from coming back? What sort of diet should I apply in my daily meal? Appreciate your advise.

Answer by Dr Martin Wade
Alopecia areata is an auto-immune condition where the body’s own immune system is attacking the hair follicles. The reason for this is not known but it is thought that there is a slight error in the immune system which perceives the affected follicles as abnormal. This does not mean that the rest of the immune system is faulty or under-performing. The good news is the hair follicles have not been destroyed and can re-grow a normal hair at some stage in the future.

Treatments include topical formulations, injections to the scalp, topical immunotherapy in the form of DCP and sometimes systemic immunosuppressive medications. Unfortunately there is a proportion of the population who do not respond to treatment.

My advice is that you ensure you are seen by a Dermatologist to ensure you have an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate treatment. I see many patients myself who have been misdiagnosed.
