Alopecia areata is commoner in those with thyroid diseases, but that doesn't mean it is caused by abnormal thyroid hormone levels. Its just an association. So, correcting thyroid levels will not correct your alopecia areata.
Next Steps
treatment of alopecia areata varies greatly from patient to patient and may involve some simple pain free injections or even tablets.
