An 18-year-old female experiencing stress-induced alopecia areata, characterized by patchy hair loss in the occipital area, showed no improvement with allopathic treatments. The condition began a year prior due to emotional stress from a disappointing romantic relationship and academic pressures. A homeopathic approach was adopted, using Calcarea carbonicum as a constitutional remedy and Phosphoric acidum to address stress-related mental debility.
