Alopecia \u2014 Clinical picture<\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nAlopecia<\/strong> usually begins in the form of a single patch on the scalp from which most of the hairs suddenly fall off. The skin in that place is unchanged, with no signs of inflammation, and the hair around the hairless area can easily be pulled out.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAlopecia usually begins between the ages of 5. and 30 . The first changes usually affect the scalp, but they can also occur in the eyebrows, eyelashes, men\u2019s beard, as well as on the rest of the skin.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen hair falls out around sides and lower back of the scalp this condition is called ophiasis<\/strong>, when the whole scalp is affected it is total alopecia<\/strong>, and the loss of all body hair is referred to as universal alopecia<\/strong> and their prognosis is worse than alopecia areata.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn addition to the hairy parts, this condition can also occur on the nails in the form of pointed depressions and nail furrows.\r\n\r\n

Treatment and prognosis of the disease<\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nIn localised cases, the treatment is successful, while the prognosis is worse in cases that began before puberty, as well as with ophiasis, universal and total alopecia.\r\nIn localised alopecia, a spontaneous hair growth can occur after a few months.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFrom local therapy, corticosteroids<\/strong> are used either topically or intralesionally, immunomodulators<\/strong>, irritants<\/strong>, minoxidil<\/strong>. In persistent cases, a systemic corticosteroid therapy will be also applied\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
