Having bald patches on one?s head, beard and eyebrows can be very distressing. Although alopecia areata does not affect the patient health in any other form, it is certainly life-altering and its sudden onset, recurrent episodes and unpredictable course have a great impact on the psyche of those suffering from it. Homoeopathic treatment of it is fairly successful as it quickly helps the hair in growing back fast.
Alopecia areata is the loss of hair in circular or oval patches from the scalp or elsewhere such as eyebrows, beard, etc. The bald patches are usually of the size of a five-rupee coin or one-rupee coin. Complete loss of hair may also occur in some individuals although it is not very common.
Alopecia areata is a fairly common skin disorder and about 1 per cent of the population is affected at any given time. Unlike other kinds of hair loss, alopecia areata is a reversible hair loss as the follicles (structure that encloses the root of the hair) of hair are not damaged. Alopecia areata does not affect the patient health in any other way. Few people complain of itching when hair starts falling. There is no physical discomfort associated with it. Alopecia affects all ages, races and sexes equally.
Though not very certain, it is assumed that your body?s own defence system attacks the hair follicle. The defence system attacks the cells of the follicle as a case of mistaken identity. These cells resemble a protein which our defence system is programmed to destroy. Pigment cells and the sweat gland around it get destroyed but the follicle protects itself by moving into the higher layers of the skin and sheds off the hair shaft. The follicle then remains dormant there.
Although not very strong, the genetic factor is also associated with alopecia areata. This means that some children whose parents have had alopecia areata or are suffering from it may have a predisposition towards developing the disease later in life.
As the hair follicle is not destroyed, the chances of hair growing back is always there. The true and exact nature of an untreated case is very difficult to predict. Some hair experts believe that there are certain conditions where the prognosis is not good.
Although there has not been found a direct link between stress and alopecia, its involvement cannot be totally ruled out. Stress is known to aggravate immune (defence) system-related disorders and also a variety of skin conditions, including urticaria, psoriasis and hyperhidrosis.
Homoeopathic treatment is very effective in dealing with alopecia areata. Researches shown that homoeopathic medicines affect our body by optimising our immune system. Thus, homoeopathy can provide an effective solution to this problem.
Moreover, once it is treated with homoeopathy the chances of the problem occurring again are also highly reduced. Although certain medicine like Flouricum Acid and Phosphorus are very often and effectively used in treating this disorder, one need to go through a constitutional analysis before any prescription is made. Constitutional analysis is the prescription-based assessment of your physical and psychological characteristics.
it is important giving such health related issues thank u Dr sharma
how can cure of alopecia areata
i am suffering from alopecia in head and face please treat me.
Hello Doctor Sharma,
I am 37 years old and have 2 kids (aged 3 and 6yrs). I have been experiencing hair fall and reduced hair growth all over body for the last 2 yrs. I have been on Homeopathy for the last one year which had helped in restricting hair fall but not in hair regrowth.
Recently, consulted with a renowned Dermatologist and have been given KLOSH hair all and shampoo and nutrients to promote hair growth.
I would like to know from you if through Homeopathy FAGA is curable and how soon can the results be expected?
Thanks
Aparna

Hi I am 22 years old. I am a Bangladeshi. I have lost my hair on different parts of my head when i was only 6 years old. I have gone to many doctors in BD for treatment. But there was no positive result. Moreover still i have no beard. I suspect that i am suffering from ALOPECIA AREATA. Is it curable . If yes then what will be the cost?
I am a 24-year-old male, and for no apparent reason, I’ve lost some facial hair. It doesn’t grow anymore on a certain portion of my chin and on my upper lip, and the skin there is like a baby’s.
To keep up a good appearance, of course, I have to shave now very closely, sometimes more than once per day. Otherwise, my face looks odd. It’s not a big problem, but an annoying one.
I went to a dermatologist, who suggested that the hair might start growing back on its own in a year or so or more. He prescribed a mometasone furoate topical solution , which I am reluctant to use (I’m suspicious of medications). He also said that the hair loss was a common thing.
What treatments are most effective?
I have no other hair-loss, and I have a full head of hair. Also, I am otherwise very healthy person.
