Ever heard of the term alopecia? Well, it stands for the condition wherein a person suffers from partial or complete hair loss. The affected parts range from the eye brows, eye lashes, and other bearded areas. Alopecia can befall anyone, male and female alike despite the age or race. Studies show that alopecia commonly strikes during childhood until the early adulthood phase. Hence, an approximate of seventy percent of the male populace and forty percent of the women population are likely to deal with this condition at some time in their own lives.
Two of the major kinds of alopecia are androgenetic alopecia which is better known as male pattern baldness and the traction alopecia which is common in women who often wear tightly done hairstyles like that of braiding.
For the males, alopecia is usually brought about by genetic factors. Otherwise, the condition is also affected by aging. There is still hope for those who suffer from it since the alopecia treatments are now widely available. They range from the prescription pills, topical lotions, and then hair transplant surgery. The orally taken antibiotics as a form of alopecia treatment include Clindamycin and Rifampin. Other treatments that may be undertaken are topical corticosteroids, therapy, zinc sulfate, fusidic acid, and the FDA approved hair loss treatments namely Rogaine and Provillus.
Yes, there are the side effects that need to be anticipated. Your body may not react comfortably to the alopecia treatment so it is always wise enough for you to discuss them with your physician.
