The occurrence and development of alopecia areata is generally divided into three stages: progressive stage; Static period; Recovery period.

Among them, the schedule cycle is the most important, with the most uncertain factors and the most troublesome to deal with. At the beginning of the disease, the patient will see a small area of hair loss. In fact, many hair follicles around the hair loss area or the whole head may have been damaged and lost their growth function. Medically, it is called resting period, and it often takes 3-4 months for hair to come out. Therefore, alopecia areata will expand in a certain period of time in the early stage, or new hair loss areas will appear in other parts. In medicine, this stage is called progressive stage.

If proper treatment is not carried out during this period, more hair follicles may continue to enter the resting stage, the area of hair loss will continue to expand, and even severe cases will develop to total baldness. Even if the drug is started at this time, the drug can only protect the growing hair that is not "injured" from going into hibernation. Hair that has entered the static stage has been "dead" and cannot be restored to the growth state. Drugs can't protect this part of hair from falling off. Dead hair will gradually fall off in the next few months, waiting for new hair to grow again and start a new growth cycle.

Therefore, friends with alopecia areata often have the phenomenon of enlarged hair loss area at the beginning of treatment, and some people mistakenly think that drugs have side effects, which leads to aggravation of the disease. In fact, this is the normal development process of alopecia areata. As long as the drug is used correctly, after systematic treatment, it will soon enter a static period and the hair will no longer fall off abnormally. After a while, you will enter the recovery period and grow new hair. At present, it is a medical problem, which is mainly related to your own immune system. If it is serious, you can go to the hospital for examination.
