Arrange a dermatologist assessment for patchy hair loss at Monaris Hair Clinic in Delhi or Indore.

A CLEAR STARTING POINT
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that can cause patchy hair loss. Its course can change over time, so care focuses on diagnosis, treatment choices and review.
Tell the doctor about patches on the scalp or other areas, when they appeared and whether they are spreading.
Other conditions can also cause patchy loss. An examination helps determine whether further investigation is appropriate.
Treatment decisions depend on the extent of loss, age, medical history and your preferences. Agree when the response will be reviewed.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Bring photographs showing previous episodes and a list of treatments already used. Discuss eyebrow or eyelash involvement, nail changes and the effect the condition has on daily life.
The dermatologist can explain suitable medical options and their possible side effects. Some treatments need monitoring, so ask about review visits and investigations before starting. Hair can regrow, but recurrence is possible and a permanent cure cannot be promised.
Cosmetic coverage, wigs or headwear may help some people while managing the condition. Monaris has discontinued hair patch and non-surgical replacement services; the team can still discuss assessment of your hair loss.
HELPFUL ANSWERS
No. It is an autoimmune condition and is not passed from one person to another.
Usually not. The underlying condition needs medical assessment; surgery is not a routine solution for active alopecia areata.
Discuss which reviews can be remote and what requires an examination or tests. Agree how monitoring would be arranged before beginning a treatment course.
