Dr. Li Qiang
Alopecia areata is generally better treated with medication. After the onset of alopecia areata, patients can, under a doctor's guidance, opt for local corticosteroid injections combined with minoxidil treatment. Meanwhile, patients should also actively identify the underlying causes and promptly eliminate them. For instance, if neurasthenia or weakened nerves are responsible, it is important to regulate emotions positively and ensure adequate sleep.
