The treatment of alopecia areata requires a comprehensive approach involving multiple methods, as follows: 1. Identify the cause: Determine the cause of alopecia areata, which may include genetic factors, immune system dysfunction, and neuro-psychological factors. 2. Lifestyle management: Maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and proper scalp hygiene. 3. Medication therapy: Topical medications such as minoxidil solution and mometasone furoate cream can improve hair loss; oral medications such as Yangxue Shengfa Capsules and Huolisu Oral Solution may also have certain therapeutic effects. 4. Physical therapy: Treatments such as ultraviolet radiation and photodynamic therapy can promote blood circulation and help hair growth. 5. Surgical treatment: When the condition is severe and other treatments are ineffective, hair transplantation surgery may be considered. The appropriate treatment method for alopecia areata should be selected based on the underlying cause, severity of the condition, and individual circumstances, and should be performed under the guidance of a physician.
