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's not a single hair left on my scalp. Are there any methods to treat bald patches? Do homemade 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 but does not harm 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 it doesn't work, a hair transplant to the scalp can be performed. It is important to address the underlying cause.
