Need help in alopecia areata treatment(guidelines/suggestio鈥?in diet area)?

I've been facing a moderate level of hair loss and its believed to be alopecia areata. I consulted the doctor and they gave me tablets to consume and cream to apply. My scalp is much more recovered now, but not noticing it will still come back, as the bald spot went to the other surface on my scalp, and now I had to take a good care of my hair again. No dying, straightening, perm or styling. It seems very fragile. May I know what is the root cause of alopecia areata and what can be done to prevent it from coming back? What sort of diet should I apply in my daily meal? Appreciate your advise.Need help in alopecia areata treatment(guidelines/suggestioin diet area)?
Alopecia areata is an auto-immune condition where the body鈥檚 own immune system is attacking the hair follicles. The reason for this is not known but it is thought that there is a slight error in the immune system which perceives the affected follicles as abnormal. This does not mean that the rest of the immune system is faulty or under-performing. The good news is the hair follicles have not been destroyed and can re-grow a normal hair at some stage in the future.



Treatments include topical formulations, injections to the scalp, topical immunotherapy in the form of DCP and sometimes systemic immunosuppressive medications. Unfortunately there is a proportion of the population who do not respond to treatment.



My advice is that you ensure you are seen by a Dermatologist to ensure you have an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate treatment. I see many patients myself who have been misdiagnosed.
