Alopecia areata is a disorder in which hair falls out in tiny spots that might be difficult to notice. However, these patches may join and become visible. This disorder occurs when the immune system destroys hair follicles which results in hair fall. Hair loss may occur anywhere on the body, including the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and face, as well as other regions of the body. It might also take a long time to develop and reoccur after a long period of time.

Although there is no known cure for alopecia, there are therapies that may be able to help hair regrow more rapidly or slow down future hair loss. Male-pattern baldness is a natural component of aging and does not require treatment because it poses no health risks. Hair loss, on the other hand, may be stressful, and there are some therapeutic options for those who are distressed or losing self-confidence.

Finasteride and minoxidil are drugs that can be used to treat male-pattern baldness, while the latter can also be used to treat female-pattern baldness. These medications do not promise that they will stop hair loss, and any favorable results will only continue as long as you take them. Steroids or immunotherapy can be used to treat alopecia areata. Immunotherapy involves purposely triggering an allergic reaction that causes hair to grow in bald spots.

Alopecia can also be treated surgically, with hair transplants or implants being two options. A person may also choose to wear a wig, which can be synthetic or composed of actual hair. The technique of hair transplantation is mostly used to treat male-pattern baldness. Hair follicles from the back of the head are harvested and implanted into bald spots.

In scalp reduction surgery, a section of the bald scalp at the crown of the head is removed, and surrounding areas of skin with hair development are stitched together to hide the bald patch. This are available treatment options for various Alopecia disorders.
