learn GHK-Cu

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.

learn Salicylic acid

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.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Baicapil

Struggling with patchy hair loss like alopecia areata? Baicapil might help by reducing inflammation and reactivating growth. 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, in people with androgenetic-type hair loss rather than autoimmune patchy hair loss.

learn Bimatoprost

Is bimatoprost effective for people with alopecia areata? Bimatoprost may stimulate hair growth but lacks strong evidence for alopecia areata.

learn Cetirizine

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.

learn Tofacitinib

a JAK inhibitor for alopecia areata and other autoimmune conditions

learn Baricitinib

JAK inhibitor that reduces inflammation and immune attacks on hair follicles, leading to potential hair regrowth, especially in alopecia areata cases

learn Finasteride

Frontline, gold standard treatment for combatting androgenic alopecia
