How To Avoid Reoccurrence Of Alopecia Areata In Children?

Hi my 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata about 2 years ago. She has since recovered most if not all of her hair on her scalp. She had about 40% baldness then. Please could you advise on how I can try to prevent recurrence of AA. I have been giving her Vit D, seaweed and multi vits on a daily basis, and cutting out milk in her diet.

Hello,

It’s very good as you giving her vitamin D, seaweed and multi vitamins on a daily basis. For prevent recurrence of AA you need:
- Vitamins, like zinc and biotin
- Aloe vera drinks and topical gels
- Onion juice rubbed onto the scalp
- Essential oils like tea tree, rosemary, lavender, and peppermint
- Other oils, like coconut, castor, olive, and jojoba
- An 'anti-inflammatory' diet, also known as the 'autoimmune protocol' which is a restrictive diet that mainly includes meats and vegetables
- Scalp massage
- Herbal supplements, such as ginseng, green tea, Chinese hibiscus, and saw palmetto

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Arup Majumdar, General & Family Physician
