10 / 47 results- Do alopecia areata patches scar? And is there evidence for peptides? Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles and often regrow. One small trial of a cosmetic peptide lotion reported improvement, but no peptide is an approved treatment; see a dermatologist.
- What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and there is no evidence that salicylic acid helps hair regrow in it.
- Patchy hair loss or alopecia areata: is there any evidence for Baicapil? There is no published trial of Baicapil in alopecia areata. The anti-inflammatory and hair-density claims come from the ingredient's manufacturer and from laboratory work on its plant extracts; none of it involved people with autoimmune patchy hair loss.
- Is bimatoprost effective for people with alopecia areata? Bimatoprost is approved only for eyelashes; for alopecia areata the evidence is a few small studies with mixed results. Near the eyes it can darken the iris, a change its label says is likely to be permanent.
- Could cetirizine help control autoimmune triggers in alopecia areata? No published trial has tested cetirizine in alopecia areata; one registered trial has not reported results. Small trials in pattern hair loss report modest benefit, so any use for alopecia areata is off-label and unproven.
