Lost a small patch of hair on top of your head?

Young people nowadays are under great pressure at work and in life, and many of them suffer from hair loss. There are many general reasons for hair loss, such as malnutrition, emotional factors or irregular life, etc. In most cases, it is caused by alopecia areata. You don’t have to worry too much. If you develop good living habits, alopecia areata will improve on its own.

Alopecia areata can be divided into three stages according to the degree of development: progressive stage, dormant stage and recovery stage.

Alopecia areata will first appear as round or nearly round hair loss spots on the head. They are often not noticed at the beginning. The hair loss spots will gradually increase in size, and the hair around the edges of the hair loss spots will gradually loosen and fall off. If these conditions occur, it indicates that alopecia areata is in a progressive stage.

Generally, when the hair loss spots develop to the size of a coin or slightly larger than a coin , they will reach a dormant period. Alopecia areata in the dormant period generally will not expand further, and there is usually no discomfort. Occasionally, there will be slight itching, tingling, or tenderness.

Under normal circumstances, alopecia areata will enter a recovery period after three or four months of dormancy, during which new hair will grow. But at the same time, many people's alopecia areata will remain in a dormant period for a long time and cannot enter the recovery period.

Some cases of alopecia areata may even recur, or the area of ​​alopecia areata may continue to expand, forming large areas of alopecia areata.

The psychological factors that lead to alopecia areata generally include the following aspects:

Family factors: if the family has financial difficulties, major life disputes, or relatives are seriously ill or injured, or children’s education, etc.;

Personal factors: such as some entrance examinations, setbacks in love and marriage, conflicts between colleagues, or some criminal penalties, etc.;

Some disease factors such as suffering from some malignant diseases, paralysis or limb disability, etc.;

Work factors: such as busy official duties or business trips, high pressure at work, etc.

The above reasons may all lead to the occurrence of alopecia areata.

Of course, when it comes to the root cause of alopecia areata, we have to talk about the hair loss gene FGF-5. The several reasons we mentioned above are actually the causes of alopecia areata, and the FGF-5 hair loss gene is the ultimate cause of alopecia areata.

When our human body is affected by the above-mentioned factors, the FGF-5 hair loss gene will be activated. Once the FGF-5 hair loss gene is activated, it will execute the command of hair loss, and alopecia areata will occur. If the human body is stimulated by factors that are not conducive to hair growth for a long time, alopecia areata will continue to occur and become more serious.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of alopecia areata , on the one hand, we must eliminate the factors that lead to the activation of the FGF-5 hair loss gene, and on the other hand, we must block the release and expression of the FGF-5 hair loss gene. This is the fundamental way to solve the problem of alopecia areata.
