Alopecia Areata

Asked for Male, 39 years

My friend had Alopecia Areata in his beard in one patch. After few months of treatment he was cured but now again the same thing is happening in more patches. Need to know the reasons behind it?

Dear Patient,

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that can happen in people who themselves or their families have thyroid, eczema, asthma or allergies etc. The body attacks its normal cells. Often this settles down itself or sometimes steroids and other treatments are given. These may temporarily stop the disease. Often the body recovers itself without any need for other treatment. Here are more details. A dermatologist can help your friend better.
