Last year around October - November

if you find bald patches in beard, it
must be alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a type of organ-specific
autoimmune disease. The immune
system helps us to defend against
foreign substances and infections.Autoimmune diseases develop when
the immune response is mistakenly
directed against part of your own
body. In the case of alopecia areata, it
is the hair follicles that are being
attacked.
The cause of alopecia areata remains a
mystery, although some scientists
think that genetics may be involved.
The disease may develop when a
genetically susceptible individual is
exposed to some sort of trigger, e.g. a virus or particle in the environment,
which provokes the immune attack on
the hair follicles.

how will bald patches develop
Alopecia areata is typically
characterized by the appearance of a bald patch in the beard or on the
scalp. These patches are usually round
and approximately the size of a large
coin, and often develop fairly rapidly.
However, the rest of the hair may
remain healthy. Hair loss can be very distressing or embarrassing to the
individuals involved since the
condition is often first noticed by
friends and acquaintances who can
see the bald patches on the back of
the scalp.
It can be hard to know exactly how a
bald patch will develop once it is
detected, although progression
usually occurs in one of the following
ways:
* If you develop several bald patches at
once, these may merge into one large
bald area.
* Alternatively, the patient may see large
bald patches arise on their own. And
then the patches of hair loss can
develop in the eyebrows, eyelashes,
or body hair. The complete loss of
scalp hair is termed alopecia totalis.
*You will often see regrowth within a
few weeks. The regrowing hair may
first be a different color, looking gray
or white. However, your original hair
color will usually reappear after a few
months.
*You may see further bald patches
developing after you have noticed the
initial one. These extra bald spots may
even appear following regrowth in the
first patch. Over time, it may seem as
though the bald patch is moving around different regions of the scalp
or beard.
*One in five patients sees changes in
their nails, with the nails becoming
pitted or ridged.

how to deal with bald patches
Although alopecia areata cannot
be cured, there are treatments available that may promote hair
regrowth in a random bald spot.
Common remedies for alopecia areata
include:
Corticosteroids. These can be delivered by injection into the affected
area, orally through pills, or topically
by applying corticoid-containing
ointments, creams and foams. The
results may only appear gradually.
Anti-inflammatory drugs. These are often used for auto-immune diseases.
Topical contact allergens/ sensitizers (topical immunotherapy). If you have extensive or recurring hair
loss, this type of medication can be
useful for stimulating regrowth
through promoting an inflammatory
response.
Rogaine (minoxidil). Rogaine is used as a topical remedy for pattern
baldness. However, it can take up to
12 weeks for regrowth to appear and
even then, the results can be not that
good. Further treatments. Medication used for other auto-immune diseases and
psoriasis can also be employed to treat
alopecia areata.
In addition to the conventional
therapies, some patients find the
following cosmetic and preventative
measures useful:
*The bald patches can be protected
against the elements using wigs,
scarves and hats. If the bald spots are
not covered, it is advisable to apply
high SPF cream to exposed areas in
sunny weather.
*Make-up may be used to hide the bald
patches.
* Some people think that stress may be
a factor in the development of
alopecia, so try to take occasional
breaks for relaxation.
*A lot of patients with alopecia can find
the hair loss upsetting. It may help to
find a therapist or if there are any
alopecia support groups in your area..
