Asked for Female, 18 years

There's a girl in my family who is 13 years old and an alopecia patient for 8 years. Shes got many treatments done but none of them has shown any progress. I want to know if alopecia is a curable disease or one has to live with it forever? Can any doctor advice me good effective treatment for her?

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Many factors trigger alopecia including genetics. In some people it comes and goes itself on and off, in others it takes longer. It has no known cure, just methods to temporarily suppress the body and let hair grow itself or to treat the obvious causes. The treatment varies patient to patient. I would recommend consulting a good dermatologist for a Second opinion.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Dermatologists in Islamabad and seek in-person advice.
