What is Alopecia Areata? Or Treatment for Hair



What is Alopecia Areata?
Is a common disease that causes hair loss on the scalp and other body parts? Begins with one or more rounded and smooth plates. It affects men and women of all ages, but young. Typically, hair follicles 35 millimeters produce hair each day. 

At alopecia areata affected follicles decrease their production of hair significantly; they become very small and cause a barely visible hair on the skin surface for months or years. These follicles are in a dormant state, but they are alive and anytime again resume action upon receiving an appropriate signal. Some people develop only a few peeled plates, which are stocked within one year. The most commonly affected area is the scalp, but men's beard or anywhere can be affected, either alone or together with the scalp. 

Some people lose all the hair on the head (alopecia totalis); while others lose all body hair (alopecia universal). Regardless of the extent of alopecia, the hair is not lost and there is the possibility of restocking. What is the signal that stimulates the onset or arrest of the disease? Not completely understood, but seem immune signals. It is believed that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the body mistakenly produces antibodies against the hair follicle. Alopecia areata is it inherited? Alopecia areata is sometimes a hereditary factor. One in five people have relatives who have or have had the disease. Often, alopecia areata occurs in families whose members have experienced asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), atopic dermatitis or autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, vitiligo, diabetes, pernicious anemia and Addison's disease. What other body parts are affected? Occur in some dimples in nails, which are arranged in rows. Disabling is alopecia areata? In physical sense alopecia areata is not disabling, because patients have good health. In an emotional sense can be a cause of great concern, especially in those with very extensive hair loss. Emotional pain can be overcome with the individual's own efforts, with medical arguments and supported by others. Sometimes it requires professional advice from a psychologist or psychiatrist to develop self confidence and get a good self-image. Could hair back out? Yeah, the hair grows back, but in some cases may also fall out again. Alopecia areata Is caused by nerves? No. Alopecia areata is a nervous, but nervous factor may precipitate the disease or prevent its improvement. Alopecia areata Is caused by lack of vision or dental infections? No, these are hoaxes of the past. Is it necessary to change plans in relation to school, sports, friends, career choice, marriage...? No, absolutely not.
TREATMENT
Is there any treatment for alopecia areata?
Yeah, there are various treatments for alopecia areata whose choice depends on the patient's age and the extent of hair loss. Alopecia areata occurs in two forms:
-As patches or stands, in which less than 50% of the hair of the head is lost.
, extensively, which lost 50% or more of all the hair on his head.

A-Alopecia patches (not extensive)

Steroid creams. Apply 2 times a day on bare spots.
Alopecia areata B-extensive
treatment here is much more difficult. There is a simple, safe, and therefore often the best alternative is a wig. -Oral steroids. Sometimes cortisone pills are used if the disease is extensive or evolves very fast. , Contact Dermatitis. Another way treatment of alopecia totalis or is universal in the patient produce allergic contact dermatitis. To that end, applies dibenciprona dinitrochlorobenzene or the scalp, in order to produce an allergic eczema that stimulates follicle asleep. This treatment is annoying and causes itching. PUVA. Exists UVA treatment called PUVA. In this case the patient takes a drug called spiraled and 2 hours then exposed to UVA rays. The treatment is done 3-4 times a week.

New Treatments

It is advisable to use dryer to accelerate the drying of the solution, since the action of the air decreases the effectiveness.
