learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Centella

Sudden round bald patches: can centella cream help? 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.

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 Hydrocortisone

Hydrocortisone is a low-potency topical steroid whose labelled use is calming scalp irritation such as dermatitis; for alopecia areata no verified human trial supports it on its own, and dermatologists generally use stronger prescription corticosteroids instead.
