The appearance of alopecia areata has a great impact on people's appearance. Many people have lost a lot of job opportunities or encountered crises in their marriages because of alopecia areata. Therefore, the treatment of alopecia areata must be started as early as possible, because only in this way can the continued development of the disease be curbed. So, what should you do if you have alopecia areata on your head? The following is a detailed introduction to this issue.

At present, there are many causes of alopecia areata, and many of them are genetic factors. Many people become nervous before developing alopecia areata, and even more often suffer from insomnia and nightmares.

Here are some common causes of alopecia areata:

1. Genetic factors are different from what many people imagine. Alopecia areata can be inherited, but this is not the main cause of alopecia areata. Some patients have alopecia areata and the disease is related to genetics, but the pathogenesis is still unclear.

2. Mental factors Mental factors are the key causes of alopecia areata. Most common alopecia areata is caused by psychological reasons. People who are in a state of anxiety and tension for a long time are prone to alopecia areata. Some unexpected events, such as loss of loved ones, unemployment, etc., can easily cause a person's mental state to fluctuate greatly, leading to alopecia areata.

3. Autoimmune diseases Some patients with alopecia areata often have one or several autoimmune diseases, and their incidence rate is slightly higher than that of the general population. Various organ-specific and nonspecific autoantibodies such as anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, anti-gastric parietal cell antibodies, anti-adrenal antibodies, anti-smooth muscle antibodies, anti-nuclear antibodies, anti-basal cell layer antibodies, rheumatoid factor, etc. can be detected in people with alopecia areata. People with this type of alopecia areata need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in order to choose the appropriate method for prevention and treatment.

Alopecia areata should not be treated blindly. Many people are eager to get rid of alopecia areata after it occurs, and often choose some folk remedies such as washing their hair with rice water, but the effect is not satisfactory. Each person's alopecia areata condition is different, and the specific improvement methods will also be different, so you should not blindly start prevention and treatment. In fact, for alopecia areata, a psychological type of hair loss, it is very important to maintain a good mental state. People with alopecia areata can usually participate in some recreational activities to regulate their emotions and combine work and rest. Of course, you can also use ginger to wipe the areas of alopecia areata in the early stages. If the effect is not obvious, you can use appropriate medication to relieve it. However, if alopecia areata lasts for several years, there is no obvious improvement with medication, or it recurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time so that the right medicine can be prescribed.
