How Can Autoimmune Disease Causing Severe Hair Loss Be Reversed And Made Better?

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO REVERSE THE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE THAT CREATES MAJOR HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN? AT ONE POINT I THOUGHT THE PROGRESSIVE HAIR LOSS WAS DUE TO STRESS AND WAS PERHAPS AGE RELATED. MY FRIEND HAS LOST ALL OF THE HAIR ON HER HEAD AND HER EYEBROWS. I AM CONCERNED THAT I HAVE AN INFLAMMATORY CONDITION THAT CAUSES BALDNESS. I ONCE HAD HAIR. NOW MY REMAINING HAIR IS SO THIN I LOSE HAIR EVERYDAY.

Hello,

Hair loss can be due to stress, vitamin deficiency, autoimmune, inflammatory, cancerous, et cetera, there are many etiologies for that. You can rule out one by one with remedies.

First, take care of your stress, do meditation and yoga exercises to calm your mind. If it is due to vitamin deficiency, better take some multivitamin tablets or milk powders with vitamins and minerals. Eat nuts, fruits, vegetables a lot.

If it is due to autoimmune disorder, you need to be investigated. It is male or female type of baldness central or peripheral variety and necessary investigation can distinguish it from other causes of hair loss.

I will suggest you to follow up with detailed history or consult with physician for detailed examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
