Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Qiang
To treat alopecia areata, patients can go to the hospital and use minoxidil tincture under a doctor's guidance, which helps dilate blood vessels and improve skin blood circulation, thereby promoting hair growth to some extent. Corticosteroids may also be used. Alopecia areata is associated with prolonged熬夜 (staying up late), excessive mental stress, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatic diseases in daily life.
