more on alopecia
Now, you know the first thing that drives people to a diagnosis of hair loss is that they are losing hair. There are other symptoms. First of all, the hair doesn’t just all fall out in a big clump. Alopecia can start small. A small round patch of your scalp is hair free – you have a small bald spot where hair used to be. That area can be feel a little funny, as in tingly, or it may not. The hair in the affected area will tend to be easier to pull out than the healthy area and the affected area may be confined more to one side of the scalp than all over.
What do you if you have alopecia? In many cases, you don’t have to do anything. The body is amazing and it can fix itself. Given proper nutrition and general good health, in time, your hair can grow back without any specific treatment. The key with that is *time*. As we discussed hair grows at a specified rate and you can’t expect to regrow hair in a month or two.
Now here’s the part that makes me a little scared of the word alopecia. In some cases, the hair does not regrow, or if it does, it is a very small amount that returns in comparison to what was there before. The reality, though, is that medical experts say this is only in 10% of cases of alopecia. So honestly, the odds are in your favor: if you have hair loss due to alopecia, do not worry your hair will return. Probably.
So why are there so many prescription medicines for hair loss? It seems to be because in some cases, where the alopecia is not severe, some steroidal treatments appear to work. The products that are readily available in the stores though are pretty worthless. Don’t waste your money on them. They may seem to work because your hair loss will stop while you are taking them, but as soon as you stop, the hair loss will continue. What is the point of that? Don’t throw away that money on corticosteroids. Put the money you saved towards or wig! Not that wigs aren’t expensive. Wigs are a whole other subject. We’ll come back to that one later. But really, use it as an excuse to change your style up a bit.
