Alopecia or Worm Infection
Hi,
I've had alopecia or Worm Infection problem for the last 10 years. I met several dermatologists and did Ayurveda medicine also. dermatologists say it is an immunity disorder and ayurveda doctors say it is worm infection. Patches occur on the head for a while and it gets cured with medicines as prescribed by the doctor. There are small bumps like pimple in the head and a lot of itching. I don't understand whether it is an Immunity Disorder or a Worm Infection. Please Guide.
Thank you
