Causas, Incidencia y Factores de Riesgo: Alopecia Areata Otras Causas de Caída Del Cabello
What causes it? Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease. This means, the body
defenses mistakenly see the hair roots as foreign invaders and attack them causing the hairs
to fall out. Fortunately the roots are not usually damaged, and the hair can often re-grow
once the attack is over. What turns this attack on and off is unknown.
Is it dangerous? For the typical healthy person alopecia Areata is a harmless disorder. It
is unrelated to cancer and it does not involve internal organs. In rare cases the hair loss may
become extensive. Alopecia Areata can be life altering due to its significant psychological
impact on those afflicted.
Can it be cured? Most patients (over 90%) will get hair re-growth within 2 years even
without treatment. Because of this, in many limited cases, treatment is not recommended.
Medical treatment can speed the return of hair growth in some cases. I evaluate each patient
and tailor the treatment plan individually for their own circumstance. Unfortunately, in a
few cases re-growth may not occur even with treatment. In young children with extensive
hair loss the chances of complete re-growth without relapses are poor.
Will it spread? In some rare cases hair loss may become extensive even with treatment.
Is it contagious? It is not contagious and you cannot "catch it" from anyone. It is not
ringworm.
Do hair restorers work? Because the natural course of the disease is regrowth even
without treatment, there will always be worthless tonics with impressive pictorial
testimonials implying effectiveness. When tested under controlled conditions these
"miracle" tonics are no more effective than applying plain tap water to the scalp.
