Question 5

can i heal alopecia areata any way like with a certain diet?

Accepted Answer

Alopecia areata: Aa is a hair disease caused by immune system attack of the hair follicle.  It is usually  treated by reducing inflammation in the area with topical medicines or injections.  It can also go away on its own. Don't think a specific diet will likely change it.

Question 6

i am a woman of43 and recently diagnosed with alopecia areata. i never had this condition ever before. what are the chances of total regrowth?

Accepted Answer

Actually most: patients with AA will regrow hair without any treatment at all but it can take a year or more. Treatment options of intralesional steroid injections usually work quickly, and new treatment options are on the horizon. I would at least use topical prescription meds and consider injections first.

Accepted Answer

YES: So called "patchy" beards have hair growth everywhere but LESS growth in "patches"...ALOPECIA = NO HAIR AT ALL ..that is BALD SPOTS!

Hope this helps!

See a dermatologist: There is no cure for alopecia areata. Hair often re-grows on its own. Treatment can help the hair re-grow more quickly.

Some treatments are combined, but if you would the hair to grow back faster i recommend seeing a dermatologist.
