Sadly, there is no cure just yet for Alopecia. Although there have been many studies and research done, the cure is still elusive and one can only hope that the condition will just cure itself, which happens to a lot of inflicted people. But if not, there are various treatments that need to be constantly done to promote hair growth. If these treatments are halted, then loss of hair will continue.
So if you’re looking for a permanent cure for Alopecia, then I’m sorry, there is no such thing yet. But, using some of the available treatments for Alopecia today is far better than a patchy head or being totally bald. Choosing the proper treatment will be based on the age of the person inflicted with the condition and the extent of the hair loss.
The most common treatment is the injection of cortisone in the area where hair loss is experienced. Multiple injections will be done on the bare scalp areas and will be done once a month. Usually, it will take four weeks before new hair can be seen.
Another popular treatment is the application of Topical Minoxidil. Applied to the scalp area affected two times daily, this treatment may stimulate the re-growth of hair. The topical minoxidil should be a solution with either a composition of two to five percent minoxidil.
Anthalin ointment or cream is also another treatment popularly utilized. They are also applied to the affected area once daily and should be washed of after an hour or just thirty minutes.
