What alopecia areata is
It is an autoimmune condition, not an infection, not from stress alone and not caused by anything you ate or applied. It can affect one patch or several, and sometimes the beard, eyebrows or eyelashes. It is often mistaken for fungal infection or 'ringworm of the scalp', which leads to wrong treatment — a dermatologist's diagnosis prevents that. ఇది ఇమ్యూన్ సమస్య, ఫంగస్ కాదు, అంటువ్యాధి కాదు. హెయిర్ రూట్స్ చనిపోలేదు, సరైన చికిత్సతో మళ్ళీ జుట్టు వస్తుంది.

What results to expect
Fine, light hair usually appears in the patch within 4–8 weeks of treatment and thickens and darkens over 3–4 months. Single patches respond best. The condition can recur, so follow-up continues after regrowth and early re-treatment keeps patches small. 4–8 వారాల్లో సన్నని జుట్టు, 3–4 నెలల్లో పూర్తిగా. ఒక్క పాచ్ అయితే త్వరగా ఫలితం. మళ్ళీ వస్తే వెంటనే చికిత్స.

Frequently asked questions
Will the hair grow back?
In most patients with limited patches, yes — often completely. Extensive or long-standing cases take longer and need combination treatment.
Are the injections painful?
They are very fine injections into the patch, done in a few minutes; discomfort is mild and brief. Numbing cream is used if needed.
Is alopecia areata contagious or hereditary?
It is not contagious. There is a mild family tendency and it can be associated with thyroid disease, which we screen for.
Can it spread to the whole head?
A small minority progress to larger areas. Early treatment and monitoring greatly reduce that risk.
