Siguiendo with the analysis of different types of alopecia, today will address the causes of alopecia areata. This kind of alopecia is produced according to two main factors: a genetic predisposition to suffer and immunological disorder.
People who are predisposed to develop alopecia areata an alteration of the immune system by which your body does not recognize as belonging to their hair follicles and thereby creates defenses (antibodies) against them trying to eliminate.
This alteration of the immune system is activated in people predisposed by factors of emotional or psychological triggers that act as aggravating process or when the disease is underway.
The treatment of this table must be made by the dermatologist, but in many cases will require a psychopharmacological support.
Currently there are several therapeutic options that range from medical treatment with local corticosteroids, intralesional or oral, immunomodulatory, and minoxidil irritant to the administration of ultraviolet light and vitamins. The use of either treatment or medication depends on the degree of extension of the alopecia, the evolution time of the treatments, etc., And will be defined exclusively by the dermatologist once analyzed all these factors.
In parallel to dermatological treatment in many cases must rely on psychopharmacological support to minimize the emotional impact that the problem occurs and if not control, you can set up a vicious circle alopecia that causes anxiety / depression which in turn aggravates alopecia.
As the hair loss occurs abruptly, some patients resort to using some kind of "prosthetic" capillary until the stocking takes place. In this way they avoid wear a drastic makeover.
It is very important to note that there are many studies underway to bring new therapies to patients suffering from this problem. Clinical trials are currently assessing the efficacy and tolerance of different products in alopecia areata: Targretin, alefacept, latanoprost, bimatoprost, and imiquimod botulinum toxin, among others.
In some countries operate associations and / or foundations that are dedicated to assisting and advising patients with alopecia areata, including The National Alopecia Areata Foundation.
In the next post will begin with androgenic alopecia or common baldness.

I have been diagnosed with alopecia areata recently and was thinking also seek psychological treatment, now with your post I decided. Thanks.
I have wisdom teeth into the gum and I was told that this could be the cause of alopecia areta sufferings. What do you think, Dr. López Bran?
Bernardo:
Long infections in the mouth, nose, throat and ears were considered causes of alopecia areata. I still remember seeing invariably alopecia areata we sent the patient to the ENT and the dentist in search of an infectious focus that blame the "bare." Today there is no evidence that this is so.
A greeting.
hello. I am a boy of 33 years and led to universal Arreat alepecia since age 8. Understandably as I am already a veteran at this and I say. no furniture, no teeth, all that is going to win space in your mouth, corticorteroides super aggressive, I lost sight for a while, severe pain in joints, stretch marks, in short, all that to four hairs that lasted less than treatment The mediacamento not remember the name that will burn the scalp all I got was a head of fluid-filled crater. Anyway. much I had to suffer to realize two things.
1 - we are guinea pigs because there is no solution for now! only temporary improvement and never 100 per 100.
2 - had to take many years to realize that rather than a defect was a blessing that thanks to alopecia I realized that I have other defects, which are weirdos are the ones we wanted to change. After understanding these two great truths I was much better in life and today I swear if the settlement say they have no side effects, just take a pill would not. I like the way I am, I consider myself attractive, I never missed anything or anyone, I married who I wanted and not to those who could. I found only labor difficulties but I have more personal level than I deserve. thank you very much for listening and I want to make it clear that I believe in a personal capacity, of course respecting everyone.

Greetings doctor.
Comments such as those made Daniel, I feel sorry, not for his resignation with the problem, but because of lack of interest of large companies investigating the problem, apparently solament interested in profits, and no real help to people with problemasde alopecia. I say this because I suffered too long the problem, and decided to investigate a product that could help.
and after ten years of testing many things, I found something that seemed to work, there followed the found the cure my alopecia, I had been diagnosed as androgenic, then used my father 64 years and it worked well. The following was trying to communicate with many multinational companies and create nothing until I deleted some mail. 'm Not crazy, just a concerned person who has managed to find. I am Professional in Business Administration and I do not have the resources to develop the product. My dream would be to find a person who could help me and even ask for a demonstration to see what an amazing product
Thank you doctor for his blockers, and speak my mind.
