I need to treat my alopesha?

Not necessarily: Many patients choose to treat alopecia, or hair loss, for cosmetic reasons, but there is not an important health reason to do so. An exception is if an underlying disease, like thyroid disease, is the suspected cause, and needs to be treated independent of the hair loss problem.

See Dr/Derm: The cause of your alopecia needs identified , and treatment will depend on cause. See a dermatologist or your dr for exam.
