Hair Loss Caused by Traction Alopecia NYC New York NY

Hair loss due to severe traction alopecia may respond to medical treatment (such as Steroids, minoxidil) , while advanced cases that have resulted in scarring alopecia would not respond to medical treatment.  If you notice the peripheral thinning early on, the hair may have a chance to grow back. I advise that you first stop braiding your hair. Traction alopecia can worsen, and hair loss can spread from the temples to the entire anterior and posterior hairline. Next, I advise you to consult a dermatologist for a closer look. If the trauma from your traction alopecia is severe, you will need a hair transplant.
