We have compiled information about ringworm, which is among the hair loss problem in places such as hair, head, eyelashes and eyebrows…

Ringworm, or alopecia areata as it is known in medicine, is a disease characterized by the sudden loss of a person’s hair or other hairs such as eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, locally in a short time.

  When it occurs on the scalp, it starts with round or oval shaped bald areas that are easily visible from the outside. After a while, hair grows back in balding areas or new lesions develop. Ringworm disease mostly occurs in young people. Between 70 and 80 of every 100 people affected by the disease are under the age of 40. It is more common in men than women.

What Causes Ringworm (Alopecia Areata)?

The cause of ringworm disease is not clearly known. However, it is thought to occur due to autoimmune reasons. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body recognizes its own cells and tissues as foreign. As a result, the immune system attacks the individual’s own cells. In ringworm, immune cells attack hair follicles, stopping hair growth and causing hair loss.

According to the researches, it has been determined that ringworm is also related to genetic factors. A parent with ringworm has a 3 to 6 times higher risk of developing this condition in their child compared to the normal rate. Again, some diseases can be seen together with ringworm and this increases the effect of genetic factors. Some of these diseases are below;

Eczema

chronic inflammatory thyroid disease

Addison’s disease

Psoriasis

Hay fever

atopic allergic asthma

vitiligo

Lupus

What are the risk factors for ringworm (Alopecia areata)?

Age, in most patients the disease begins under the age of 40.

Gender, men tend to get ringworm more than women.

What are the symptoms of ringworm (Alopecia areata) disease?

Although the symptoms of ringworm are characteristic, it manifests itself with one or more smooth, oval and hairless areas on the scalp. The skin in the affected area is healthy and there is no inflammation in the skin.

Hair loss mostly starts on the scalp. However, all kinds of scalp, including eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits, beard and pubic hair, can be affected by ringworm and differences in nail structure may occur. The clinical presentation is variable and differs from person to person. The course of the disease is unpredictable and sometimes chronically recurrent.

Spontaneous recovery, stabilization, or worsening of condition may occur during illness. When hair regrows in the bald area, it is often first unpigmented, that is, white.

How is alopecia areata diagnosed?

Since the symptoms of ringworm are quite typical, the diagnosis is usually made by the patient and their relatives before going to the doctor. However, in some situations, ringworm and hair fungus can be involved. It is necessary to go to a dermatologist for a clear and accurate diagnosis.

 Your doctor first questions your symptoms and looks at the amount of hair loss. He tries to clarify the diagnosis by examining several hair samples under the microscope. If necessary, a piece is taken for definitive diagnosis and examination in pathology is performed.

How is ringworm (Alopecia areata) treated?

Ringworm treatment is done by a dermatologist. The goal of treatment is to stop the progression of the disease and reduce the severity of symptoms. In some mild and early-stage cases, the hair grows back on its own without the need for any treatment.

In the advanced stages or in the presence of serious symptoms, steroid group drugs are given in the treatment. Steroids are primarily administered in cream form. In the later stages, it can be applied to the scalp with an injector, depending on the situation. Care should be taken as applications around the eyes can be risky for eye health. Apart from the steroid group, alopecia areata can also be treated with drugs and a different method called immunotherapy.

If you are complaining of ringworm-like hair loss, it is recommended that you consult a dermatologist and be examined and treated.
