You can fix alopecia through several different treatments which include.

Corticosteroids.
Topical immunotherapy.
Minoxidil (Rogaine).
Diphencyprone (DPCP).
Ultraviolet light therapy.
Tofacitinib.

Foods that help alopecia are apples, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, cherries, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and green cabbage.

When you have alopecia the alopecia causes hair loss on your head.

Your hair will fall out as a result of the alopecia damaging hair follicles and you'll eventually go bald as a result of the alopecia if not treated.

With alopecia areata the cells in your immune system surround and attack your hair follicles (the part of your body that makes hair).

This attack on a hair follicle with alopecia causes the attached hair to fall out.

And the more hair follicles that your immune system attacks, the more hair loss you will have.

The vitamins that can help with alopecia areata are vitamin D and zinc and vitamin A.

Calcipotriol, a vitamin D analog, has also been reported to be topically used in treating alopecia areata with promising results.
