What should I do if a piece of hair falls out?

In our daily life, hair loss is a very common phenomenon. Experts also suggest that it is normal for each person to lose 70 to 100 hairs a day. However, if too much hair is lost, it is abnormal. If only a piece of hair is lost, it will affect the appearance. We can imagine how terrible it is to have a piece of scalp without hair. Of course, many people deliberately cut their hair into a special shape, and some people deliberately shave their hair off, which is another matter.

When hair falls out, it will fall out in chunks. This sounds really scary. There is indeed a big psychological gap between the hair that is cut off and the hair that falls out by itself. The hair that is cut off can grow back, but the hair that falls out is hard to say. So, what should I do if a chunk of hair falls out?

Alopecia areata can be treated with oral medication, topical medication and diet therapy.

[Western medicine treatment]

The treatment should first be based on the area of ​​baldness. If the area is small, only local medication is used, such as topical hormone lotions or fresh ginger juice to stimulate the growth of hair follicles. Generally, hair can grow in 3-6 months. If the area is large, oral hormones can be taken, such as 15-30 mg of prednisone per day, and the dosage can be gradually reduced. Generally, hair will grow within 2 months, but since this drug has certain side effects, it needs to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, multivitamins and some Chinese medicines such as Shouwu tablets also have an auxiliary therapeutic effect.
