Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi,I have Alopecia Areata problem since 8 months. I have gone completely bald, and it is completely depressing for a girl. I am taking injections for the same. I have still 2 big patches left in which hair started regrowing but now again I am losing hair. I seriously don t know what to do. Is it because it is winter or what I don t know. My doctor has suggested me, Sebowash shampoo with other medicines. I am getting scared and I seriously don t want to go bals again. Is it the right time to change the doctor?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have alopecia areata . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection , covering head with cap, nutritional deficiency and hormonal changes . It is very important to find ot the exect reason . As stress can also cause different type of hair loss like alopecia areata .Start taking Indian goose berry powder ( half spoon ) with water once a day and use almond oil as it is rich in vitamin E and try to keep yourself relax. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A and Omega-3 .
