What Causes Alopecia Areata?
Autoimmune Response Against Hair Follicles
The immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing hair to fall out in patches.
Genetic Predisposition
Some people may have a higher chance of developing alopecia areata if it runs in the family.
Immune System Dysfunction
An overactive or misdirected immune response may play a role in triggering hair loss.

Use Prescribed Medicated Products

Scratching may worsen inflammation, cause bleeding, and increase temporary hair shedding. Try to manage itching with prescribed treatment.

Use gentle washing techniques. Avoid harsh rubbing, aggressive scrubbing, or using very hot water on the scalp.
Moisturize the Scalp
Dryness may worsen discomfort. Your specialist may suggest suitable scalp moisturizers or applications if needed.
Avoid Harsh Styling Products

Protect the Scalp from Excessive Sun Exposure
Mild sunlight may help some people, but excessive sun exposure can irritate or burn the scalp. Follow your doctor’s advice.
Manage Stress
Stress can worsen psoriasis flare-ups. Relaxation, sleep, exercise, and stress management may help support treatment.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking can increase inflammation and may worsen psoriasis in some people.
Limit Alcohol Intake
Excessive alcohol consumption may trigger or worsen flare-ups.

A healthy weight may support better overall inflammation control and scalp health.
Follow Treatment Consistently
Scalp psoriasis needs regular care. Stopping treatment too early may lead to recurring symptoms.
