Keep reading to learn more about treating alopecia and how a Spotty Hair Clinical Trial may be the perfect solution for you.

Alopecia Treatments: Medication

There are many different types of medication available to treat alopecia and spotty hair loss. They include:

• Injections of corticosteroids: For adults, this can be an effective treatment. Your dermatologist will inject the corticosteroids directly into the spots with hair loss. You will need several shots every 4 to 6 weeks. When effective, patients usually see some hair regrowth within 3 months of getting the first injection. This is considered the most effective treatment for people who have a few patches of hair loss.
• Corticosteroids you apply: You apply this medication to the bald spots once or twice a day as instructed by your dermatologist. This medication tends to be more effective in children than adults.
• Anthralin: You apply this medication to the bald spots, let it sit on the skin for as long as your dermatologist says, and then wash it off. It will cause some skin irritation. To get the best results, you’ll also use minoxidil after your hair regrows.
• Minoxidil: After your hair regrows, minoxidil can help you keep the regrowth. To be effective, you will need to apply this medication 2 to 3 times a day. It can be helpful for the scalp, beard area, and eyebrows.
