Alopecia Areata Ophiasis
I have alopecia areata ophiasis, a condition causing hair loss in a band-like pattern at the back of my scalp. It has been more than a month since I started having this. The bald patch is evidently increasing too. The hair loss has been persistent, and I’d like to understand my treatment options. I want to know if there are any effective medications or therapies to promote regrowth and prevent further loss. Additionally, I’m concerned about the prognosis—how likely is regrowth, and what factors influence it? Are there any lifestyle changes, supplements, or dietary considerations that may help? Lastly, would you recommend any specific tests to rule out underlying conditions contributing to my hair loss?
