The treatment approach is individualized according to the severity, extent, and age of the patient. Early intervention plays an important role in preventing permanent hair loss.<\/p>\n<p>Topical treatments are especially preferred first in cases of alopecia areata seen in limited areas. Medications such as corticosteroid creams, minoxidil solutions, and anthralin suppress the local immune response and allow hair follicles to reactivate. These treatments require regular and long-term use.<\/p>\n<p>In widespread or resistant cases, intralesional corticosteroid injections and systemic immunomodulatory treatments may be applied. These methods prevent damage to hair follicles by suppressing the inflammatory process. The treatment process generally lasts several months and requires dermatological follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>Psychological support is also important in the management of alopecia areata. The aesthetic and emotional effects of hair loss may increase stress levels and negatively affect the course of the disease. Therefore, stress control and lifestyle adjustments should also be included in the treatment plan.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>What You Need to Know<\/td>\n<td>Information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>What is Alopecia Areata?<\/td>\n<td>Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in suddenly appearing, clearly bordered, round hairless areas on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, and other hairy areas.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mechanism of formation<\/td>\n<td>The body\u2019s immune system perceives hair follicles as foreign and attacks them. This causes hair follicles to shrink and stop producing hair. Genetic predisposition and environmental factors may also be effective.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Symptoms<\/td>\n<td>The most common symptom is the formation of round and sharply bordered areas of hair loss on the scalp or body hair. Hair loss may begin suddenly. In some patients, pits and surface irregularities may be seen on the nails.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Course of the disease<\/td>\n<td>The disease can generally improve spontaneously, but it tends to recur. In some patients, hair returns completely, while in others the loss may be permanent or widespread.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment methods<\/td>\n<td>\u2022 Inflammation is reduced with topical corticosteroid creams.\u2022 Corticosteroid injections are applied directly to hair loss areas to encourage hair growth.\u2022 Minoxidil may be used to support hair growth.\u2022 Topical immunotherapy aims to rebalance the immune system.\u2022 In widespread cases, systemic immunosuppressive drugs may be preferred.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Things to consider during the treatment process<\/td>\n<td>The course of the disease is specific to the individual, so the treatment plan should be determined according to personal factors. The success rate of treatment may vary. Even if hair regrows, the disease may recur. Psychological support may also be needed in some cases.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1021677430 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_754529639 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_2072777222\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-232082165\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-911677669\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:#8a817c;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-819197581\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-582988291\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_243490956\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"782\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-782x800.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"ankara dermatoloji doktoru seval karasat\u0131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-782x800.webp 782w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-391x400.webp 391w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-768x785.webp 768w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624.webp 882w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_243490956 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-582988291 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-582988291 > .col-inner {\n    margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-518847074\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner dark\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-3805472165\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n<div><strong>Specialist Dr. Seval Karasat\u0131<\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3805472165 {\n  font-size: 1.85rem;\n  text-align: center;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-3805472165 {\n    font-size: 2.5rem;\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\t<div id=\"text-2769402161\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Seval Karasat\u0131 is a dermatology (skin diseases) specialist in Ankara specializing in skin health, hair and nail diseases, aesthetic dermatology, and laser applications.

The T-cells perceive these follicles as a threat (like a virus or bacteria) and initiate an organized attack against them.<\/p>\n<p>This attack is managed through certain chemical &#8220;messengers&#8221; (cytokines). Specifically in ringworm, two messengers called Interferon-gamma (IFN-\u03b3) and Interleukin-15 (IL-15) play a key role. These messengers use a special cellular communication network called the JAK\/STAT pathway to transmit the order &#8220;go on the attack&#8221; to the cells. You can think of this communication network as a telephone exchange; JAK enzymes are the &#8220;operators&#8221; that receive the message and transmit the attack order into the cell.<\/p>\n<p>This is also why the disease can return rapidly (relapse) when treatments are stopped. Current treatments (especially JAK inhibitors) stop the attack by cutting the communication in this exchange, but they do not fundamentally &#8220;cure&#8221; this &#8220;confusion&#8221; of the immune system or the genetic predisposition. For this reason, long-term maintenance treatment is generally required to preserve the achieved hair growth.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Your_Doctor_Determine_the_Severity_of_Your_%E2%80%98Ringworm_Disease\"><\/span>How Does Your Doctor Determine the Severity of Your &#8216;Ringworm&#8217; Disease?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to choose the right treatment strategy, it is first necessary to objectively determine the current condition of the disease, namely how widespread and how active it is.<\/p>\n<p>The gold standard method used in this evaluation is SALT (Severity of Alopecia Tool) scoring. This score is used to calculate the percentage of total hair loss on the scalp. Your doctor divides the scalp into four main areas and calculates the rate of loss in each area, giving a score between 0 (no loss) and 100 (complete loss of the scalp).<\/p>\n<p>This scoring helps us classify the severity of the disease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mild Ringworm: SALT score 1\u201320%<\/li>\n<li>Moderate Ringworm: SALT score 21\u201349%<\/li>\n<li>Severe Ringworm: SALT score 50\u201394%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Very Severe Ringworm: SALT score 95\u2013100% (This condition is called Alopecia Totalis -loss of all scalp hair- or Alopecia Universalis -loss of all body hair-)<\/p>\n<p>This classification is very important because treatment options vary directly according to this score. For example, &#8220;systemic&#8221; medications that must be taken orally (affecting the whole body) are generally considered for severe patients with a SALT score of 50% and above.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Signs_of_a_Stubborn_Process_in_%E2%80%98Ringworm_Treatment\"><\/span>What Are the Signs of a Stubborn Process in &#8216;Ringworm&#8217; Treatment?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some clinical signs indicate that the disease may be more resistant to treatment and may require a longer and more intensive approach. These poor prognostic factors are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A large area of hair loss (SALT score greater than 50%)<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Ophiasis&#8221; type hair loss (hair loss wrapping like a snake around the back and sides of the head, namely the nape and behind the ears)<\/li>\n<li>Onset of the disease at a very early age (before adolescence or in childhood)<\/li>\n<li>The current shedding episode lasting a very long time (for example more than two years)<\/li>\n<li>Significant nail involvement (pitting, ridging, sandpaper appearance of the nails)<\/li>\n<li>A history of atopic dermatitis (eczema) in the patient<\/li>\n<li>The presence of another autoimmune disease (for example thyroid disease or vitiligo)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Your_Doctor_Understand_That_Your_%E2%80%98Alopecia_Areata_Attack_Is_Active\"><\/span>How Does Your Doctor Understand That Your &#8216;Alopecia Areata&#8217; Attack Is Active?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When planning treatment, we look not only at the extent of the hair loss area but also at whether the disease is &#8220;active,&#8221; that is, whether the shedding is still continuing at that moment. There are two important clinical signs showing that there is an active inflammatory process:<\/p>\n<p>The first is the presence of &#8220;exclamation mark hairs&#8221; at the edges of the hair loss areas. These are short, broken hairs that become thinner toward the root and indicate that the active attack is continuing.<\/p>\n<p>The second is a &#8220;positive hair pull test.&#8221; When the doctor gently pulls a small tuft of apparently healthy hairs just around the hair loss area, if more than 6-10 hairs come out painlessly and easily, this shows that the disease is active in that area and has the potential to spread. The presence of these active signs may be an indication that faster response can be obtained especially to treatments such as intralesional cortisone injection (ILC).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Treatments_Are_Used_for_Mild_or_Moderate_%E2%80%98Ringworm_50\"><\/span>Which Treatments Are Used for Mild or Moderate &#8216;Ringworm&#8217; (50%)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If hair loss is below 50% of the scalp, that is, if the shedding is limited to certain areas or occurs in patches, our goal is to solve the problem directly where it is located (locally), rather than with medications affecting the entire body.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1087400780 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1917962131 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1595500388\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-876524297\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-241185067\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(196, 135, 135);border-width:3px 3px 3px 3px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-60196252\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-374425525\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-3179308650\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n<div><strong>Contact Us for Anything You Wonder About Skin Health!<\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3179308650 {\n  font-size: 2.25rem;\n  text-align: center;\n  color: #c48787;\n}\n#text-3179308650 > * {\n  color: #c48787;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-3179308650 {\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-374425525 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 10px 30px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-374425525 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-412626562\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<a class=\"button success expand\" >\n\t\t<span>Contact via WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t<i class=\"icon-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-412626562 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 30px 10px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-412626562 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 30px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-241185067 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 20px 0px 20px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-241185067 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1595500388 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1005663524\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-425355983\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1323635734\" class=\"col large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Injection_Treatment_Intralesional_Corticosteroid_%E2%80%93_ILC\"><\/span>What Is Injection Treatment (Intralesional Corticosteroid &#8211; ILC)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This method is the first and most effective treatment option for limited ringworm in adults and adolescents.<\/p>\n<p>In this treatment, a special form of cortisone called &#8220;Triamcinolone Acetonide&#8221; is injected directly into the skin of the hairless areas, at the depth where the hair follicles are located, using very fine needles. The aim is to immediately suppress the immune system attack at the exact place where it occurs, namely the hair follicle.<\/p>\n<p>The injections are generally repeated once a month. Dosage is critically important for the application area. While lower concentrations (e.g. 2.5 mg\/mL) are preferred in thin skin areas such as the face (eyebrows, beard), slightly higher concentrations (e.g. 5 mg\/mL, maximum 10 mg\/mL) are used on the scalp. This careful dose adjustment is essential to minimize the risk of temporary thinning or indentation (cutaneous atrophy) in the skin of that area. If no response is obtained despite regular treatment for 6 months, the treatment is generally stopped and other options are evaluated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Are_Cream_and_Foam_Treatments_Topical_Corticosteroid_%E2%80%93_TCS_Suitable_For\"><\/span>Who Are Cream and Foam Treatments (Topical Corticosteroid &#8211; TCS) Suitable For?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Especially in children, due to the difficulty or pain of injection application, the first choice is generally strong corticosteroids in the form of cream, lotion, or foam. Super-potent topical steroids such as clobetasol have been shown to be effective in promoting hair growth, especially in children.<\/p>\n<p>In children aged 6 and under, these creams are generally the first step regardless of the severity of the disease (mild, moderate, or severe). In the 7-12 age group, they are preferred in mild and moderate cases. In adults, they may be used in addition to or in support of injection treatment (ILC).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Other_Supportive_Local_Treatments_for_%E2%80%98Alopecia_Areata\"><\/span>What Are Other Supportive Local Treatments for &#8216;Alopecia Areata&#8217;?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These treatments are generally considered together with cortisone treatments or when no response is obtained from them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minoxidil: This solution (the best-known brand is Rogaine) is not an immune suppressant. In other words, it does not treat the underlying cause of ringworm (the autoimmune attack). It works more like a &#8220;hair fertilizer&#8221;; it promotes growth by increasing blood flow and stimulating hair follicles. For this reason, it should never be used alone in alopecia areata. However, when used together with a treatment that stops the inflammation, such as a cortisone injection or cream, it can help the hair grow faster and stronger.<\/li>\n<li>Anthralin (Dithranol): This substance works by creating a mild, controlled irritation on the skin. Theoretically, this mild irritation is intended to &#8220;distract&#8221; the immune system and prevent it from attacking the hair follicles. Its application is somewhat troublesome (it is left on for a short time and then washed off), it can stain the skin and clothes, and may sometimes cause severe irritation. Its effectiveness is limited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Treatments_Are_Required_in_Severe_%E2%80%98Alopecia_Areata_50\"><\/span>Which Treatments Are Required in Severe &#8216;Alopecia Areata&#8217; (50%)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When hair loss covers more than half of the scalp, or in cases of Alopecia Totalis (loss of all scalp hair) or Universalis (loss of all body hair), local treatments (injections, creams) are generally insufficient. Since the problem is no longer local but a systemic immune activity involving the whole body, the treatment also needs to be systemic (taken orally or by injection, affecting the whole body).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Oral_Cortisone_Systemic_Steroid_Frequently_Used_for_%E2%80%98Ringworm\"><\/span>Is Oral Cortisone (Systemic Steroid) Frequently Used for &#8216;Ringworm&#8217;?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cortisone taken orally in pill form (Prednisone\/Prednisolone) is generally used only to urgently &#8220;stop&#8221; and stabilize very rapidly progressing, severe, and active ringworm attacks.<\/p>\n<p>However, its long-term use is limited due to the potential for serious side effects. Some of the potential side effects are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weight gain and swelling of the face (moon face)<\/li>\n<li>High blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Rise in blood sugar (risk of diabetes)<\/li>\n<li>Stomach problems (ulcer)<\/li>\n<li>Bone loss (osteoporosis)<\/li>\n<li>Acne<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moreover, when cortisone treatment is stopped, the rate of hair loss recurring (relapse) is very high.

However, with the emergence of new-generation targeted treatments (JAK inhibitors), these drugs are now considered second-line treatment.

The aim is to create a controlled allergic reaction (contact dermatitis) on the hairless skin.

Then, this substance is applied weekly to the hairless area in increasing low doses.<\/p>\n<p>Theoretically, while the body\u2019s immune system is busy fighting this new and &#8220;fake&#8221; allergy, it &#8220;gives up&#8221; attacking the hair follicles. While this method can be very effective in patchy hair loss, its effectiveness decreases significantly in very severe cases such as Alopecia Totalis or Universalis.

It is approved for adults aged 18 and over with severe ringworm.<\/li>\n<li>Ritlecitinib (Litfulo): Targets the JAK3 enzyme and another kinase (TEC). The most important feature of this drug is that it is also approved for adolescents aged 12 and over. This is a very important development because there was previously no approved systemic treatment option for this age group.<\/li>\n<li>Deuruxolitinib (Leqselvi): Approved for adults aged 18 and over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In clinical studies, the success of these drugs is generally measured by patients who initially had no hair (SALT 50) achieving a SALT score of 20% or lower with treatment (that is, at least 80% of the hair returning).<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that approximately 30-40% of patients using these drugs reach this goal within 6 to 9 months. However, the most important point about these drugs is PATIENCE and CONTINUITY. The effect may begin slowly, but it increases over time. For example, in long-term studies conducted with Baricitinib, it was seen that 90% of the patients who used the drug continuously for 2 years (104 weeks) and initially responded maintained more than 80% of their hair. This shows that this treatment is not a &#8220;sprint&#8221; but a &#8220;marathon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_There_Risks_in_JAK_Inhibitor_Treatments_for_%E2%80%98Ringworm\"><\/span>Are There Risks in JAK Inhibitor Treatments for &#8216;Ringworm&#8217;?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Compared to traditional immune suppressants, JAK inhibitors are generally well tolerated and their side effect profiles are more manageable. However, no effective drug is without side effects.<\/p>\n<p>The most frequently reported side effects in clinical studies are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Upper respiratory tract infections (cold, flu-like symptoms)<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Nasopharyngitis<\/li>\n<li>Acne \u2013 (It may be seen more frequently especially in the adolescent group using Ritlecitinib)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Less frequently, some changes may be seen in laboratory tests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase in blood cholesterol levels (both good HDL and bad LDL)<\/li>\n<li>Increase in a muscle enzyme called Creatine Kinase (CK) in the blood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For these reasons, before starting JAK inhibitor treatment, a complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, cholesterol profile, and infection screenings (especially tuberculosis and hepatitis) are \u043e\u0431\u044f\u0437\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e performed. During treatment, these blood tests are also repeated at regular intervals (generally more frequently during the first 3 months, then every 3-6 months) and the patient\u2019s safety is closely monitored.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Place_of_Psychological_Support_in_%E2%80%98Alopecia_Areata_Treatment\"><\/span>What Is the Place of Psychological Support in &#8216;Alopecia Areata&#8217; Treatment?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ringworm is not only a skin problem; it is a heavy psychological burden that deeply affects a person\u2019s self-confidence, social relationships, and general quality of life. Especially in young patients, the rates of depression and anxiety disorders are quite high.<\/p>\n<p>This condition should not be seen only as a &#8220;cosmetic&#8221; problem. It is known that stress and psychological condition have a direct effect on the immune system (brain-skin axis). In some studies, it has been observed that hair growth is also positively affected in patients who receive psychological support or treatment for depression.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, psychological support or, if necessary, psychiatric treatment is not an &#8220;extra&#8221; in the management of ringworm but a very important part that complements the main treatment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it should be remembered that the full effects of systemic treatments (such as JAK inhibitors) may take months to become apparent. During this waiting period, it is very important to benefit from cosmetic solutions in order to immediately improve the patient\u2019s quality of life. Hair prostheses (natural-looking wigs), microblading for eyebrow loss, or medical camouflage products serve as an important &#8220;bridge&#8221; while waiting for treatment, helping the patient feel better and participate in social life.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-721853130 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1516916766 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1052704305\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-598879407\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-257424093\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-2429176087\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2429176087 {\n  font-size: 1.5rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t<div id=\"accordion-334591113\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-334591113-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-which-methods-provide-the-most-effective-results-in-alopecia-areata-treatment?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-334591113-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Which methods provide the most effective results in alopecia areata treatment?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-334591113-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-334591113-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>Topical corticosteroids, intralesional steroid injection, minoxidil, immunotherapies, and PRP applications are frequently used in alopecia areata treatment.
