When do they get Alopecia Totalis?
This malady occurs in children and men and women under the age of 40, but there is no guarantee adults of an older age will not suffer from it as well. As mentioned earlier, it can happen suddenly or over time preceded by Alopecia Areata.
Are there treatments for Alopecia Totalis?
Treatments include glucocorticoid injections, anthralin, or oral glucocorticoids which are immunomodulations. There are reports that steroid therapy is able to put the malady into remission, but there are side effects involved with steroids. Rogaine, however, is not a recommended treatment as the follicles are the target of the auto-immune deficiency and what Rogaine attempts to stimulate. Corticosteroids and Methotrexate, treatment for auto-immune diseases, have been thought of as possible ways to put Alopecia Totalis in remission. There are cases that have resulted in a fairly quick recovery of hair growth. The drug, ruxolitinib, has just begun to be tested in persons who suffer from alopecia. Gene studies and research have produced promising results in finding a marker for Alopecia Areata as well as Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis. …show more content…
The malady does not change any aspect of a person's health other than their hair. There are support groups for people with alopecia of all kinds. To help increase confidence and your day-to-day life, our salon offers many services in addition to wigs for anyone dealing with alopecia or other conditions resulting in a loss of hair.
