There are three types of alopecia: alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis. Their etiology and treatment are basically the same, but the degree of clinical manifestations is different.
[Clinical manifestations]
Alopecia areata often happens suddenly without any warning. Patients often have no conscious symptoms and are at a loss because of their suddenness.
The first alopecia area can be born in any part of the human body, but it is easy to occur in the head. On the scalp, or eyebrows, beard, and so on. It is estimated that the incidence of alopecia areata in the population is less than 0.1%; About 95% of alopecia areata patients have lesions confined to the scalp.
Alopecia areata often manifests as independent and limited hair shedding, round or oval, with clear edges and a diameter of 1 ~ 2 cm or more. The bald skin is smooth and shiny, without obvious atrophy, but pores can still be seen, which makes the surrounding hair not easy to fall off, the roots of the fallen hair become thinner, and the hair balls shrink, which can form an exclamation mark. . If the number of lesions increases gradually, adjacent lesions can be merged into patches with different sizes and irregular shapes. At the initial stage of recovery, soft, yellow and white hair can be seen in the affected area, which gradually becomes thick and black, and finally returns to normal. Alopecia areata has a long course of disease, most of which can be cured, and a few patients can relapse after recovery.
If the disease continues to develop, the skin lesions can involve the whole head, or even all the hair will fall off. At this time, the scalp can still maintain its normal appearance, that is, it is completely bald. In severe cases, the whole body hair falls off, including eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, armpit hair, pubic hair and body hair. This condition is called alopecia universalis. In male patients with alopecia areata, about 10% may have alopecia universalis.
Clinical alopecia areata can be divided into three stages according to the development of the disease. (1) Progressive stage: the damage scope of hair and skin is expanding day by day. On the skin with normal appearance around alopecia areata area, the hair is loose and easy to fall off. (2) Static period: Generally, after 3-4 months, alopecia areata can stop developing and remain unchanged for a long time, and the hair attachment around the alopecia area is quite firm. (3) Recovery period: Hair begins to grow in the alopecia area.
Some patients may have dizziness, itching, low back pain, tinnitus, dizziness and other symptoms. Doctors can find that a few early patients can see erythema and edema in baldness, and the hair follicle mouth is clearly visible.
[Pathological analysis]
The pathogenesis of alopecia areata is not completely clear at present. Most people are caused by mental stress and physical fatigue, but some people don't have these reasons. Medically, it has something to do with autoimmunity. Its etiology is unknown, but it is characterized by depression and endocrine disorders. It is often easy to cause this disease.
The disease can cause dysfunction of subcortical center and autonomic nerve due to dysfunction of higher nerve center, cause dermal papilla vasospasm and hair malnutrition, and thus lead to alopecia. If you are subjected to intense mental stimulation and fatigue, you may suddenly get sick or get worse. For alopecia areata with allergic background, it may be autoimmune disease. In addition to vasculitis and perivascular inflammation in the dermis, vasculitis also exists in the vascular branches of hair follicles, and the blood vessels are destroyed, resulting in a decrease in vascular network and insufficient blood supply, leading to hair loss. Immunological research shows that this alopecia areata can appear anti-thyroglobulin, anti-adrenal cells, anti-thyroid cells and other antibodies, but there is no anti-hair follicle antibody, so it is considered as autoimmune vasculitis alopecia. At present, it is not certain that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease, but it may be accompanied by autoimmune diseases, which is temporarily effective for corticosteroids, which at least suggests that autoimmune factors may be involved in some cases. In addition, endocrine disorders, focal infections, intestinal parasites, etc. It may also be a pathogenic factor.
[TCM theory]
The classic Chinese medicine book "Etiology" wrote: "People have wind evil and exist in their heads. If you are weak, you will lose hair and muscle necrosis, or if you are rich, your fingers will not be itchy, and you will be a ghost. " The ghost licking mentioned by the ancients refers to a lot of hair loss. The place where it falls off is either the size of money or the size of the belly of the finger. The affected area is neither painful nor itchy. At the same time, the ancients also knew that ghosts licking their heads were not caused by ghosts, but wind evil invaded the weak human body. Once wind evil invades the head, the lack of yang in the head will lead to hair loss.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly caused by young people, and blood heat is abundant, followed by irritability, frustration of seven emotions, prolonged stagnation of fire, intense heat, strong wind, "wind leaves falling" and baldness. Therefore, teenagers suffer from this disease, mostly caused by internal heat, and its treatment should also be based on clearing heat and cooling blood, expelling wind and promoting hair growth. Never take tonic for nothing. Otherwise, the more you make up, the hotter you get, and the more you fall. Mental and emotional changes are one of the important causes of this disease, which is consistent with traditional Chinese and western medicine. As long as you try to maintain emotional stability and get enough sleep in your daily life, you can at least prevent mental stimulation and excessive fatigue.
treat cordially
Alopecia areata can be treated by oral drugs, topical drugs, diet therapy and other methods.
[western medicine treatment]
Treatment should first be based on the area of baldness. If the area is small, only use topical drugs, topical hormone potions, or fresh ginger juice to stimulate hair follicle growth. Generally, hair can grow out in 3-6 months; If the area is large, oral hormone, prednisone 15-30mg per day, can be gradually reduced. Hair usually grows out within 2 months, but because this medicine has certain side effects, it needs to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, multivitamins and some traditional Chinese medicines, such as Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., also have the function of adjuvant therapy.
[TCM treatment]
Traditional Chinese medicine has long known that hair loss, that is, the liver stores blood, and the hair is blood, and the kidney governs the bone. Its brilliant reason is related to kidney deficiency and blood deficiency. In recent years, there is a theory of blood stasis, so the treatment of alopecia is mainly to tonify kidney, nourish blood and promote blood circulation. Its branches of traditional Chinese medicine are roughly heart-qi deficiency, liver-kidney deficiency, liver depression and blood stasis, and deficiency of both qi and blood. Patients can be treated by doctors based on syndrome differentiation, such as nourishing blood and blood, nourishing liver and kidney, invigorating spleen and qi, nourishing blood and cooling blood, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and arresting astringency and dredging collaterals.

Some patients have a few alopecia spots at first, but with the continuous progress of the disease, the hair around the alopecia area is easy to fall off. After a few weeks or months, most of the scalp can become alopecia spots and form total baldness. The scalp of such patients may also have no conscious symptoms, and a few patients may have itching or numbness and swelling of the scalp.
Some patients also lose eyebrows, beards, armpit hair and ear hair. In severe cases, they may lose eyelashes, nose hair and whole body hair, and eventually form hair loss. After a month to several months of progress, the condition gradually stabilized until the growth period, gradually growing white hair and finally forming black hair.
The course of alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis is generally longer than alopecia areata, and the recovery is very slow. Some patients can't recover for many years, and even become permanently bald.

Alopecia areata is not terrible.
Alopecia areata often happens suddenly, because most of them have no conscious symptoms, and the patients themselves don't know that they have alopecia areata, and they are often discovered by accident or told by others when they have a haircut. Most of these bald spots are round or oval with very neat edges. If there are many bald spots, the boundaries are unclear. At first, the plaque is small, with a diameter of 1-2 cm, which can gradually expand. When alopecia areata develops and expands, the seemingly normal hair around it is easy to be pulled out, and the hair roots become thinner, gray and painless. The color of local scalp is normal, and the surface is smooth and shiny. Only a few patients were accompanied by local scalp itching and reddish scalp at the beginning of the disease.
Some patients with alopecia areata have small bald spots, the number of bald spots is only 1-2, which stops expanding within a few weeks, and the surrounding hair grows firmly without any symptoms of hair loosening. This is a progressive phenomenon. Soon, fine light-colored bristles appeared on the smooth bald spots, which gradually turned black, became thicker and denser, and the hair returned to normal. Some alopecia areata, the surrounding hair is obviously loose and expands rapidly, and new alopecia areata spots appear one after another. Although some of them have some new light hair in the center, they can't see this new fine hair at the edge, and this alopecia areata will not heal in a short time. Alopecia areata generally occurs first on the scalp, and in rare cases, it can first appear on the eyebrows, beards or hair of limbs. It is also a depilatory spot with clear edges, which is often difficult to disappear in a short time. If the patient has white hair, the black hair at alopecia areata will fall off first, and the white hair will fall off or not after the meeting. In addition to alopecia areata like adults, children can also lose their hair under the pillow along the back hairline, which is called snakelike alopecia and is difficult to cure.
Alopecia areata often recurs after recovery. Some patients relapse after a few months, and some relapse after a few years. Some patients only relapse 1 time, while others relapse many times. The recurrence of alopecia areata is irregular. Generally speaking, people with a family history of alopecia areata, especially those with a family history of alopecia areata recurrence, have a much greater chance of recurrence. A few patients with alopecia areata can develop into complete alopecia and systemic alopecia after repeated recurrence.
A few patients with alopecia areata can have nail changes, which are characterized by rough and uneven surface of most concave decks with millet size, fragile nails and nail loss. People with changed nails are a serious sign of alopecia areata. Most of mild and general alopecia areata have abnormal nails, and those with deck lesions are less likely to heal themselves.
The course of alopecia areata is very inconsistent. It is difficult to make an accurate prediction about how far alopecia areata will develop, whether there will be new damage and whether it will recur. Generally speaking, multiple alopecia areata is heavier than single alopecia, total alopecia is heavier than alopecia areata, and the most serious is alopecia universalis. Most alopecia areata can heal itself after several months or more, and a few alopecia areata, including alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis, are still difficult to cure despite various treatment methods.
Is alopecia areata a ghost shave?
There was a middle-aged woman who quarreled with her husband because of family chores. Afterwards, she was worried and suffered from insomnia several times. One day, she suddenly found a bald area the size of a nickel in the back pillow. The old lady next door told him it was a ghost shave. Middle-aged women are more afraid. Within a few days, the bald area gradually expanded and her hair almost completely fell off.
There are no ghosts in the world, so naturally there are no ghosts who shave people's heads. Then why is it called ghost shaving? This is nothing more than explaining the sudden and unconscious hair loss, and the patient himself does not know when it fell off. Hair loss is short and magical.
Patients with alopecia areata should pay attention to their eyes.
In recent years, studies at home and abroad have found that patients with alopecia areata can have eye diseases. About all patients have lens changes, including lens opacity and astigmatism; 1/3 patients have retinal changes, such as mild pigmentation area, pigmented spots, diffuse or localized hypopigmentation, etc. These eye changes will not affect vision. In addition, it may be accompanied by cataracts. The change frequency of alopecia areata eyes in patients with multiple alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis is the same, and it has no obvious relationship with the duration of alopecia areata and the age of patients.
Local treatment of alopecia areata
The purpose of topical medication for alopecia areata is to stimulate skin congestion, improve and promote local blood circulation and promote hair regeneration. There are also many kinds of physical therapy. * * * Sparks 2-3 times a week. Ultraviolet irradiation can promote blood circulation and stimulate new hair regeneration. Take/kloc-0 every 2-3 days, which requires long-term treatment. Photochemical therapy can be used for large area and intractable alopecia areata. First, 0. 1%8- methoxypsoralen alcohol solution was applied to alopecia areata, and after 45 minutes, it was irradiated with long-wave ultraviolet twice a week, and the amount of erythema was kept to a minimum. When most of the new hair is regenerated, the number of irradiation is gradually reduced, and generally it can be treated for more than 30 times. This method has the problem of 1, which hinders the consolidation treatment after the hair grows completely. Because long-wave ultraviolet rays can't pass through the hair to reach the hair, it is necessary to cut off the newly grown hair frequently and expose the scalp, which is beneficial to continue chemotherapy and achieve the purpose of consolidating the curative effect.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease.
Although the etiology of alopecia areata has been studied in many aspects for decades, many theories and theories have been put forward, but there is no conclusion so far. In recent years, due to the rapid development of immunology, especially the progress of immunological detection technology, it has been found that many patients with alopecia areata have immune abnormalities. Some people suggest that alopecia areata may be an autoimmune disease, but many people hold the opposite opinion. The evidence that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease is as follows:
(1) First of all, clinical observation shows that alopecia areata is often complicated with some confirmed or possible autoimmune diseases.
(2) A variety of antibodies against self-organization were found in the serum of patients with alopecia areata, and a variety of autoantibodies were found in the serum of patients with alopecia areata through immunological research.
(3) Corticosteroid hormone is an effective drug to treat autoimmune diseases. This medicine also has a good effect on alopecia areata and can regenerate hair. For patients with autoantibodies, the antibodies disappeared after treatment. This fact also shows that alopecia areata may be an autoimmune disease.
(4) Alopecia areata and alopecia areata are normal, and alopecia areata is caused by abnormal body fluid factors. The author indirectly supports the role of immune dysfunction in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata.
(5) Topical application of dinitrochlorobenzene can regenerate hair in some patients with alopecia areata. These effects are due to the local induction of dinitrochlorobenzene to produce a second antigen, which forms antigen competition and produces a new immune response, thus inhibiting the original anti-hair follicle antigen response. Some people think that this can indirectly explain that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease.
The above results support that alopecia areata is related to immune dysfunction. However, these immune abnormalities only exist in some patients with alopecia areata, and some patients have normal immune function. More importantly, despite many efforts, autoantibodies against hair follicles or hair balls have not been accurately detected so far.
Although there are still different opinions, alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease based on various evidences and facts.
Black hair is one of the signs of youth and health. Hair loss, white hair and hair that is too thin, too dry or even falling off are closely related to the lack of certain nutrients in the body. Copper is an essential element for melanin synthesis in hair. When the copper content in human body is lower than the normal level, it will not only cause metabolic disorder and anemia, but also make hair growth stagnate, fade and appear gray hair. Animal liver, lean meat, eggs, soybeans, hard fruits and other foods are rich in copper and pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid can promote the formation of melanin granules and is also an important nutrient for blackening hair. Zinc plays an important role in anti-aging and hairdressing. Zinc deficiency can lead to alopecia such as alopecia areata. Baldness is related to iron deficiency, accounting for about 30% of the incidence of baldness. Baldness caused by iron deficiency should eat more iron-rich foods, such as animal liver, egg yolk, fungus, beans, day lily, alfalfa, mustard, red cabbage moss, celery, amaranth, sesame, kelp and so on. At the same time, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C to facilitate the absorption of iron. As long as you pay attention to your diet, hair loss can be cured and new hair will grow out slowly. The ancients said, "blood relatives depend on blood." Iron is the main component of hemoglobin, and blood is the basis of hair care. From this point of view, it is very necessary to supplement iron from the diet in order to make the hair fit. Trace element iodine can stimulate thyroid hormone. Thyroxine can make your hair black and bright, so you should eat more foods rich in iodine, such as kelp, seaweed, sea cucumber, clams and other seafood. Cystine deficiency is one of the causes of hair loss. The reason why people who like to eat thick paste are prone to baldness is because of the lack of cystine in fat meat, which first manifests as heavy head oil and shiny hair, then gradually dries up and becomes brittle or bifurcated, and finally leads to baldness. Therefore, the intake of cystine should be increased in the diet. Foods rich in cystine and protein, such as black rice, oats, gluten, corn, black beans, soybeans, peanuts, sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds. Foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B 1 all have the function of nourishing hair. Vitamin C has the functions of calming the nerves, softening the hair and strengthening blood vessels. You should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C. Seaweed and sesame are rich in iodine, vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. Bean sprouts, malt, kelp, tofu, bean products, beef, fish, milk and eggs are all good sources of high-quality protein and B vitamins. Paying attention to the reasonable distribution of diet and absorbing comprehensive nutrition are the basis of hair bodybuilding. Through the study of hair health, foreign scientists believe that adjusting diet can obviously promote hair growth. To make the forehead hair thick, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, onions, strawberries, mulberries, apples, pears, apricots, kiwis, watermelons and melons. To make the hair on the top of your head thick, you should eat less fatty food, and use sunflower oil and sesame oil as cooking oil. Eating more carrots, spinach, all kinds of red fruits, dark vegetables and all kinds of edible wild fruits is the way to make the hair thick at the back of the head. In addition, black sesame seeds and walnuts are the best foods for hair bodybuilding and can be eaten in moderation.
Now the food with beauty function is classified, which is beneficial to the choice of food.
Fruits: apricot, mango, lemon, peach, red fruit, jujube and so on.
Dried fruits: dried apricots, mangoes, raisins, dried persimmons, candied dates, sunflower seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds, peanuts, dried mulberries, and medlar.
Vegetables: carrots, amaranth, rape, spinach, coriander, celery leaves, rape moss, shepherd's purse, etc. ?
Meat: pig liver, sheep liver, beef liver, rabbit liver, chickens, ducks and geese, etc. ?
Milk eggs: eggs, duck eggs, yolk, egg powder, milk powder, butter, etc. ?
Aquatic products: snails, oysters, river crabs, snails, mussels, etc. ?
Cereal beans: barley, corn, soybeans, black beans, adzuki beans, lentils, cowpeas, etc. ?
In short, in order to make your hair beautiful, you must give it enough nutrition. Pay attention to reasonable collocation in diet to ensure the supply of protein, fatty acids, iron, copper, iodine, zinc and various vitamins closely related to hair bodybuilding. And avoid eating habits that are harmful to hair fitness, such as strong creamy smell, drinking spirits, strong tea, and binge drinking greasy and spicy food.
Don't forget to adjust your mind when treating baldness.
Just entering the consulting room, a middle-aged man wearing a cap and sunglasses followed me in before I could change my work clothes. He sat down and said, "doctor, I'm really unlucky." Half a year ago, I got divorced because of my disagreement with my wife. At the low point of my life, the unit's benefit was not good, my job was lost, and my marriage career failed, which made me feel that life was worse than death. I suddenly found my hair lost the other day. Within a few days, I had bald spots on my head. A friend said it was difficult to find a psychiatrist.
Tao, is this related to mental factors? "
Human hair has an average of 654.38 million+hairs. If it falls off within 654.38+000 hairs every day, it is normal and belongs to physiological alopecia. Common pathological alopecia includes seborrheic alopecia, male alopecia, alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecia. Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving", is related to genetic, immune and neuroendocrine changes.
A kind of alopecia related to other factors, such as no inflammation and no conscious symptoms, which can be completely bald in severe cases. Patients with alopecia areata often have a circular hair loss area the size of a fingernail or a coin, with obvious boundaries, different numbers and sizes, and the hair on the edge of the hair loss area is loose and easy to pull out. If the symptoms of alopecia areata continue to develop, all the hair will fall off, which is called total alopecia. If hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, armpit hair, pubic hair, whole body hair and beard fall off, it is called alopecia universalis.
Mental stress and emotional factors have great influence on alopecia areata. Some scholars pointed out that 23% patients had a history of mental trauma or anxiety before onset, and 63% patients had neurosis. People with alopecia areata are often nervous and in a bad mood. They encounter negative life events, such as college entrance examination, fighting, traffic accidents and the death of their loved ones, and have symptoms such as neurasthenia, excessive fatigue, MUBI at night and lack of sleep. And most of them have personality characteristics such as impatience, stubbornness, emotional instability and stubborn attitude. They tend to be competitive, eager for success or sulking.
The occurrence of the disease may be caused by mental factors. Through a series of changes in the nervous system, endocrine system and immune system, it affects the internal environment balance of the body and leads to pathological alopecia. As stressors, marital breakdown, unemployment or other blows will affect people's mental health and cause psychological trauma. On the basis of genetic and immune factors, psychological trauma will lead to pathological alopecia, which is the reason why people who are hit are prone to alopecia areata.
Therefore, the treatment of baldness requires not only drugs, but also psychotherapy. Timely implementation of long-term care, psychological consultation, crisis intervention and treatment services for people suffering from setbacks or disasters will have a positive impact on improving their health. At the same time, patients should pay attention to psychological adjustment, maintain psychological balance, feel comfortable, combine work and rest, pay attention to controlling emotions, and don't lose your temper easily. For people with obvious symptoms of depression and anxiety, some antidepressants and anxiolytics can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
