What Is Alopecia Areata?
6. Topical Treatments
As mentioned, there is no known cure for alopecia, but there are treatments that may be able to reduce the symptoms.
One type is topical treatments that help to stimulate hair growth. Among the most common of these is Rogaine. It needs to be applied to the area twice a day, but it can take a year or more for results to be seen. That’s if there are positive results at all. Impoyz is also thought to be able to help by decreasing inflammation in the hair follicles, and anthralin is believed to be able to help stimulate hair growth by irritating the scalp.
