Patient's question:
Last night, after taking a nap, I noticed the recurrence of bald patches on my scalp again, as if someone had deliberately shaved my hair. Now there isn't a single strand of hair left. Are there any methods to treat bald patches? Do home remedies, like rubbing ginger on the scalp, work?Doctor's answer:
Alopecia areata is a common disease that primarily affects the appearance of the body without posing a threat to vital organs. Genetic hair loss and androgenic acne are common causes of this condition. In terms of treatment, prednisone acetate tablets or budesonide injections are administered to the bald areas. Oral cysteine, calcium pantothenate, and vitamin B are beneficial for hair growth. A 1-3% minoxidil topical application can stabilize the skin and promote local blood circulation, aiding in hair regeneration. If the treatment is ineffective, a hair transplant to the scalp may be considered. It is important to address the underlying cause.
