Pemphigus vulgaris is a psychogenic-driven, autoimmune-related, non-scarring hair loss disorder that can occur anywhere on the body. It can be treated by general treatment, local medication, systemic medication and physical therapy.
1. General treatment: remove possible triggering factors and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. The vast majority of baldness can be cured naturally within 6 to 12 months. For patients with extensive baldness or total baldness or generalized baldness, it is advisable to wear a wig to reduce the psychological burden.
2. Local medication: 2% or 5% minoxidil solution, 10% cayenne pepper tincture can be used externally to improve local blood circulation and promote hair growth; glucocorticosteroids can be used externally or injected into the bald area to reduce inflammation around the hair follicles, and glucocorticosteroids, such as prednisolone suspension or compound betamethasone injection, can be used for intradermal injection.
3. Systemic medication: cystine, calcium pantothenate, vitamin B orally helps hair growth. Oral glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone can be used for rapid and extensive alopecia including alopecia areata and alopecia areata.
4. Physiotherapy: Some studies have reported that PUVA therapy, long-wave ultraviolet light, narrow-spectrum medium-wave ultraviolet light, photodynamic therapy, 308nm single-frequency excimer light and excimer laser, pulsed infrared diode (904nm), low-energy laser, and fractional carbon dioxide laser have certain therapeutic effects on pemphigus vulgaris.
Pemphigus patients should consult the doctor in time and be treated under the doctor’s guidance, not blindly self-medication to avoid adverse effects.
