Alopecia totalis
Classification & external resources
|
| ICD-10
| L63.0
|
Alopecia totalis is the loss of all head hair. Its causes are unclear, but it is an autoimmune disorder. Stress is sometimes thought to be a contributor to the hair loss caused by alopecia, however many people leading relatively stress-free lives have experienced the symptoms.
Treatment
Methotrexate and corticosteroids have been proposed as treatments.[Joly P (2006). "The use of methotrexate alone or in combination with low doses of oral corticosteroids in the treatment of alopecia totalis or universalis". J. Am. Acad. Dermatol. 55 (4): 632–6. doi:10.1016/j.jaad.2005.09.010. PMID 17010743. ]
