Alopecia Universalis

	Question

I have had alopecia universalis for 6-7 years is there any hope of regrowth or any treatments that i can try other than suppressing my immune system which appears to be the only option. I believe that the condition was triggered by the use of Efexor/venlafaxine antidepressant which I took for a year.Lesley

	Answer

Unfortunately, there are few options regarding the treatment of alopecia universalis. A good resource would be the Alopecia Areata Foundation. On the web, I belive they can be found at www.alopeciaareata.org Good luck. Sincerely, Alan J. Bauman MD --- Bauman Medical Group www.baumanmedical.com
