How is scarring alopecia treated?<\/h2>\n
Treatment of scarring alopecia is usually challenging and depends on the severity of the condition and the cause<\/b>. Unfortunately, there is<\/b> no universal cure for<\/b> scarring alopecia. However, there are several options that can help minimize its effects. However, this is always only to protect the parts of the skin where the hair has not yet fallen out<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The treatment of scarring alopecia involves, for example, the use of corticosteroids<\/b>, which are applied topically or intralesionally (injected) to the affected scalp. They help to suppress inflammation and its further spread.<\/b> The list of possible medications is wide and the first-choice drugs vary for each condition. In some cases, a hair transplant<\/b> may be performed, but this is only if the scarring alopecia is no longer active.<\/b><\/p>\nSupportive treatment options<\/h2>\n
Psychological help and support<\/b> is a very important part of treatment. Scarring alopecia is very stressful, so patients commonly show signs of depression and feelings of helplessness.<\/b> Apart from hair transplantation, there is no other way to restore hair growth on the affected parts of the head.<\/b> Therefore, in the case of extensive hair loss, patients often opt for wigs<\/b> (some insurance companies contribute to their purchase) and hairpieces, or they wear scarves, which are also popular among patients with non-scarring forms of alopecia.<\/p>\n
It is essential that patients with scarring alopecia consult a dermatologist specialising in hair diseases.<\/b> In this way, they can obtain a correct diagnosis and an individual treatment plan that will ideally prevent the bald patches from spreading<\/b>. Each case of scarring alopecia is completely unique, so the treatment of the disease and patient care must be approached individually.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2536,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hair-diseases"],"yoast_head":"\nScarring alopecia in men and women -
