Are you dealing with a bald spot and wondering if natural remedies can help hair grow back?
Hair loss and bald spots are common with lupus and can have several causes, including lupus disease activity, medications, or other factors. It's important to first talk with your doctor to determine what's causing your hair loss, as this will guide the best treatment approach.
Some natural options that MyLupusTeam members have found helpful include:
* Biotin (vitamin B7) - Available as a supplement or naturally in foods. A MyLupusTeam member shared, "I use biotin [and it] works great! Most of my hair [is] growing back!"
* Folic acid - Another B vitamin that some members have found helpful for hair loss
* Coconut oil - Used as a conditioner to reduce breakage in brittle hair
However, it's crucial to know that many over-the-counter supplements for hair loss may not work for lupus-related hair loss and could potentially interact with your lupus medications. Always discuss any supplements with your rheumatologist before starting them.
The most effective approach is treating your lupus itself. When lupus is under control, hair loss often improves. Your doctor may also prescribe topical steroids or adjust your medications if they're contributing to hair loss.
