Alopecia Areata Treatment

➤ We are sharing the case of a young male child who presented with patchy hair loss primarily affecting the back of the scalp.

➤ The parents noticed sudden, round patches of hair fall over a span of 2–3 weeks. There were no signs of itching, scaling, or redness, ruling out tinea capitis initially.

➤ On consulting with our expert dermatologist, a clinical diagnosis of Alopecia Areata was considered based on the pattern and rapid onset.

➤ A tailored treatment plan was started, including topical corticosteroids, immune modulators, and supportive scalp care with regular follow-up.

➤ As seen in the after-treatment photo, significant hair regrowth was achieved over the course of a few months, with most bald patches now covered.

➤ The child is under periodic observation to monitor for any recurrence, and the family has been counseled on maintaining a stress-free environment and balanced nutrition to support long-term recovery.
