Alopecia Areata is unpredictable, and repeated episodes are not unusual. In approximately 50% of patients, hair will regrow within a year without any treatment. When hair does start to regrow, it tends to be of very fine "peach fuzz" hair, eventually regaining most or all of its normal color and texture.
There are six ways may help hair grow back, but none of them prevent new patches of hair loss or cure the disease:
-
The most common is observation for Alopecia Areata.
If the patch of hair loss is small, it is reasonable to observe it and allow the hair to regrow on its own. In approximately 50% of patients, hair will regrow within a year without any treatment. -
The No.2 common therapeutic option for Alopecia Areata is injection of a steroid into the involved scalp skin
A very small needle is used to inject steroid into and around the bald areas. Initial regrowth of hair can be seen in 4-8 weeks and treatments are repeated every 4-6 weeks. Another way is the synthetic corticosteroid clobestrol cream and the corticosteroid fluocinonide cream are applied to the scalp.
However patients should be aware that steroid could cause serious side effects when used for a long period of time. The main side effect is thinning of the skin. Cortisone patients with has more complete hair loss, the hair that regrows usually falls out when this treatment stops.
