Homeopathy Successfully Treats Alopecia Areata in a 2-Year-Old Toddler Safely
A 2-year-old girl with six alopecia areata patches on her scalp experienced complete hair regrowth with homeopathic treatment. Initially prone to scratching, eczema, and frequent infections, she responded gradually to a constitutional homeopathic remedy. Within months, her bald patches showed hair growth, and by six months, all spots were fully treated, illustrating the safe and effective potential of homeopathy in toddlers.
2-years-old Miss A.R (PIN 8294) presented with six hairless patches on the scalp and that were diagnosed as alopecia areata. Initially, this condition started when she was 3 months old, but her hair had regrown in a couple of weeks.
The texture of her hair was quite soft, fragile and it had a tendency to break easily. Her scalp was dry. She used to scratch her hair vigorously, at times even while asleep. Her frequent scratching of hair wildly and rubbing her head against the pillow would often result in dry skin and rash and boils on the scratched areas.
She had a mild eczema, prominently on her face, since birth and that was treated conventionally. She was diagnosed as iron deficient, and, therefore, she was on iron supplements. The patient was allergic to penicillin.

Besides her complaints of Alopecia, she used to get frequent cold and cough, thrush on her tongue, and chronic urticaria.
Since her early childhood, she was very active. She was quite loving and cared for her brother. She always tried to imitate her brother in whatever he did. She would get very anxious to get whatever she wanted. By nature, she was very adamant and would cry until she got what she had asked for. Her memory was good, and she could remember and repeat information. Another peculiarity was that she wanted things to be placed back after the use (For instance, she could not tolerate if milk bottles and caps were swapped).
She was very attached to her grandmother. She used to go to a childcare centre from the age of 7 months. The problems began when her grandmother, who was residing with the patient, left for India. The patient was upset as she was very attached to her.
After studying the detailed case history, she was prescribed a constitutional homeopathic remedy for her complaints. After 2 months of the homeopathic treatment, small hair had started emerging on her alopecia patches. At the same time, 2-3 new spots were also noticeable.Three months of further homeopathic treatment showed a remarkable improvement in her patches. Thin, dull hair had grown on her bald patches.
After further six months of the continued treatment, all her patches of alopecia areata were treated completely.
Conclusion
This case highlights that homeopathy is highly effective in treating alopecia areata in toddlers successfully and safely without any side-effects.
