Multiple Patchy Alopecia Areata of Scalp
Initial Symptoms & Chief Complaints
- Three distinct smooth coin-shaped bald patches on vertex and occiput area
- Rapid extension of hair loss within 6 weeks post emotional exam stress
- Mild scalp itching and burning sensation prior to hair shedding
Previous Treatments
Topical minoxidil and intralesional triamcinolone (steroid) injections with no sustained improvement.
Homeopathic Remedy Prescribed
Constitutional single remedy (Natrum Muriaticum 200C followed by 1M potency based on MD research protocol).
Treatment Outcome & Clinical Progress
Complete cessation of hair loss by week 3; dark vellus hair growth visible by week 6; 100% thick terminal hair coverage with complete patch resolution by month 5.
Doctor's Clinical Notes: This case followed the exact protocol from Dr. Drashti Miyani's MD research thesis on Alopecia Areata. The patient's hair loss had begun soon after a period of intense exam-related stress, and once that suppressed emotional grief was addressed alongside the physical symptom picture, the dormant hair follicle roots reactivated naturally, without any local steroid injections.
Key Clinical Takeaway
"Alopecia Areata, even with multiple coin-shaped bald patches, can respond permanently to single-remedy Classical Homoeopathy - no steroid injections required."
