Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder in which there is loss of hair in patches either in the scalp or face or body. It is not a contigious disease. The cause of the disease is unkown. Factors like stress, high blood pressure and hereditary are considered. It affects mostly the middle aged people. There will be severe loss of hair in the scalp and it can spread throughout the body and the last stage will be total loss of hair from head to toe. This condition is known as Alopecia universalis or Alopecia totalis. In this disease there will be no changes in the skin. We treat alopecia areata cases with internal and external siddha medicines in which there will be complete regrowth of hair with our great accuracy. In alopecia universalis if patient comes early, prognosis will be good. Treating alopecia areata in early stage gives 100% cure.
Pseudo pelade is a condition similar to Alopecia Areata with loss of hair in patches. With changes in color, feel in texture of the skin. Pseudopelade of Brocq is not a specific disease, but a pattern of cicatricial alopecia. If a definitive diagnosis of DLE, LLP, or another condition can be made based on clinical, histological, or immunofluorescent features, then the term pseudopelade of Brocq cannot be used. A primary form of traditional pseudopelade may exist, but this has yet to be established with certainty. With our treatment we can stop the progression of the disease but chances for recovery is slim.
