8 / 801 results- Baricitinib: Can I use it even if I don’t have a medical diagnosis but I have patchy hair loss? Use baricitinib only with a medical diagnosis of alopecia areata.
- Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
- What conditions can a hair transplant treat? Clinics say transplants can treat pattern baldness, long-inactive scarring alopecia and thinning; a transplant only moves hair a person still has, so the cause of the loss has to be diagnosed first.
- Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.
- 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 salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.
