Alopecia and Doctors In India
The Doctors in India dont seem to know about alopecia Universalis/ Totalis. I am losing, eyebrows, hair (not in patches). Although i have found lately that i can see gaps in my beard. I understand that this is caused by AUTO-IMMUNE diseases. Please can you list all the auto-immune diseases that i should get myself checked for. My father also has alopecia universalis but he actually dint care much, never went to a doctor coz for him it was never a big issue. Its a big issue for me though. He has thyroid. (i dont have).
So Please can you list all the auto-immune diseases that i should get myself checked for; since im not getting much help from dermatologists here.
Thank Youps: Im not bothered by any hair loss except my eyebrows..
I understand you are at a junction where the doctors you have seen have not been helpful. I also admire your quest to find the cause of your hair loss condition. However, it is not my role to be your doctor or give medical treatment or diagnosis via the internet. At best, I can only give my opinions and thoughts. The medical treatment and plan is completely between you and your physician. That being said, it is my opinion that you may want to try visiting an immunologist for your condition, if indeed you are diagnosed with alopecia universalis. In the United States many dermatologists control the treatments, but as there is no effective treatment, only a few doctors are experimenting on medications for autoimmune hair disorders and these are done at major universities under FDA guidelines. There must be some doctors in India that have similar interests and you should try to find them. I’m sorry that I don’t have more info on where to find them though. I suspect if you are a healthy person with only alopeica universalis there really are no tests that will give you satisfaction.
