How to Treat Different Types of Alopecia Areata
Hair is made of protein called keratin, so when follicles produce new cells, old cells appear on the surface making strings of hair. Normally, adults have on their head about 100,000 - 150,000 hairs, averagely losing hundred a day. All of our bodies are covered with it, more or less. However, if it’s affected with some factors that number can be greater.
Alopecia areata is a condition when hair is falling from some parts of the head, making patches, or from other parts of the body like eyebrows, eyelashes, nose hair and generally all over the body where hair grows. It is considered to be a skin disease, because it affects skin of the scalp and is usually diagnosed by dermatologist. There are no medical explanations of how these patches develop and why are selected in the way they are and also, there is no test that can show if the patches will stay contained in that area or spread to another one. The cause is abnormal functioning of the immune system, when it attacks hair follicles making it fall more than usual. It’s not limited on any sex or age, it can happen to everyone, although women don’t reach the scale of complete baldness as men. The good thing is that it does not leave scars, only hairless areas.
It can occur in any part of the body, which has hair, not just the scalp - in the beard, eyebrows, eye lashes and any other place where you grow hair. But it mainly occurs on the scalp, usually as round spots about the size of quarters. There is no physical discomfort associated with this disorder. There are three different types of alopecia areata, depending on the location and the severity of the attack:
- When hair is lost all over the scalp it’s called Diffuse Alopecia areata . - In case when the hair loss is confined to the beard it’s called Alopecia Areata Barbae . - The third case is the highest degree of hair loss, from all over the body including scalp, eye brows, eye lashes, pubic hairs, nose hairs and it’s called Alopecia Areata Universalis.
Treatment options for alopecia areata include: - Corticosteroids: Anti-inflammatory drugs that are prescribed for autoimmune diseases. Corticosteroids can be given as an injection into the scalp or other areas, orally (as a pill), or applied topically (rubbed into the skin) as an ointment, cream, or foam. Response to therapy may be gradual. - Rogaine (minoxidil): This topical drug is already used as a treatment for pattern baldness. It usually takes about 12 weeks of treatment with Rogaine before hair begins to grow. Results can be disappointing.
