How to treat seborrheic alopecia?

Seborrheic alopecia is also called androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as baldness. Clinically, the hairline moves backward, and the hair on the top of the head is gradually sparse, while the hair on the top of the head of women is mainly sparse. The etiology of this disease is related to heredity and hormone levels in the body, especially androgen. The treatment is mainly antiandrogen, and topical drugs promote hair growth. At present, men mainly take finasteride tablets orally, taking orally 1mg every day for 3 months to half a year, even exceeding 1 year, and externally using 5% minoxidil tincture. Women mainly use 2% minoxidil tincture, oral spironolactone tablets and tanshinone capsules. Early seborrheic alopecia may be a little oily on the scalp, which may be complicated with seborrheic dermatitis. In this case, 2% ketoconazole lotion can be used as shampoo for external use, and continuous use for a period of time will have certain effect. In addition to these western medicines, traditional Chinese medicine also has curative effect on early seborrheic alopecia, especially damp-heat type, and can be treated with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine when necessary.
