| Summary: | Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease resulting in hair loss. Alopecia areata has become one of the most common and challenging disorder in this modern era with devastating psychosocial consequences. This is a case of 18 year female having hairfall on scalp treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine. When patient came for consultation, she was presented with a bald head with slight patches of hair suffering since last 4 year. Systematic case taking followed by repertorisation of the totality of symptoms was done by Synthesis Repertory using RADAR software in order to choose the individualised remedy. The patient responded well to the individualised homoeopathic treatment, i.e. Lycopodium clavatum 200 and 1M with gradual and steady recovery. There was a complete cure of Alopecia areata without any side effects and recurrence of lesions. This case report supports the positive role of homoeopathy in treating alopecia areata. |
