INTRODUCTION

Hair is regarded as an essential part of human identity, and losing it has a negative effect on many facets of one's quality of life. Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic, non-scarring hair loss of the scalp or body hair. It is believed to be an autoimmune disorder where the body cannot recognize its own cells, resulting in the subsequent destruction of the hair follicles. The efficacy of the available treatment is not adequate and remission of hair follicles is unpredictable. However, individualized homoeopathy (iHOM) has shown great results in treating AA.

METHODS

At the Dermatological Department of D.Y. Patil Homoeopathic Medical College & Research Center, India, an 11-year-old female patient diagnosed with Alopecia areata was treated homeopathically from July 2021 to November 2021. During the follow-up visits, the outcome was assessed. To assess whether the changes were due to homoeopathic medicine, an assessment using the modified Naranjo criteria was performed.

RESULTS

Over an observation period of 5 months, beneficial result from iHOM medicine was seen, and so can be used by physicians in treating Alopecia Areata as a complementary health practice.

CONCLUSION

Considering the multi-factorial etiology of Alopecia Areata, iHOM medicine and the auxillary line of treatment are effective in treating Alopecia Areata.

简介

头发被视为人类身份的重要组成部分，脱发会对生活质量的许多方面产生负面影响。斑秃是一种慢性、非瘢痕性的头皮或身体毛发脱落。据信，这是一种自身免疫性疾病，身体无法识别自身细胞，从而导致随后毛囊的破坏。现有治疗方法的疗效并不充分，且毛囊的缓解情况不可预测。然而，个体化顺势疗法（iHOM）在治疗斑秃方面显示出了很好的效果。
