Effective Remedies For Alopecia Barbae

The Dermatology Academy in the USA observes “Alopecia Barbae” as a sub type of “Alopecia Areata”. The symptoms of the disease include bald patches appearing on the scalp. Alopecia Barbae is a similar kind of medical condition slightly differing from Alopecia Areata in terms of the affected area, which usually affects the beard. Both the conditions are found only in men.

Treatments

Till now, the autoimmune nature with which the body responds to certain things is the only known fact about the hair loss phenomenon. The reasons are mysterious and so is the perfect treatment for Alopecia Barbae. However, experts suggest some medications which help in growing the hair follicles faster than the normal recovery process.

1. Cortisone - Cortisones are available in the form of injections and is considered the most common treatment for this disease. Application - The injections should be applied only under the supervision of a dermatologist or by the dermatologists themselves. It is injected in the affected area repeatedly. Results - On successful treatment, the hair starts re-growing in about four weeks time. There is however no guarantee on this treatment. Side Effects - The treatment procedure is quite painless with no side effects. The affected area may sink or cause a tingling feeling which recovers by itself with time.

2. Topical Minoxidil - Topical Minoxidil is available in solution form and is considered effective too. Application - Only 5% of the concentrated solution needs to be applied on the affected area for effectiveness. Some other solutions which are 2% in concentration have not been that successful in the treatment and should be avoided. Results - The combination of Topical Minoxidil and Cortisone increases and improves the chances of hair re-growth.

3. Anthralin - Anthralin is an expert recommended treatment for Alopecia Barbae. It is also a treatment for psoriasis. It is available in the form of an ointment or cream.

Application - Apply the cream on the affected area where hair growth is needed. Wash off the cream after 30 mins to an hour, as recommended. Results - The treatment has shown results over a period of 12 to 14 weeks since the beginning of the treatment. Side Effects - An extreme care should be taken while applying the cream. The cream should not be left on the affected area after the recommended time and should always be kept away from the eyes.
