Anthralin (Dritho-Scalp) is a synthetic drug available as cream or ointment and is applied onto your scalp and washed off daily. Typically, anthralin is prescribed for treatment of psoriasis, but doctors prescribe this for treatment of alopecia areata.
Surgery for hair loss or thinning hair is typically one of two procedures. Transplanting involves replacing lost hair with existing hair and treats androgenetic alopecia. The other type of surgery is called scalp reduction, where the surgeon removes sections of bald skin and then closes the space with the hair covered section of your scalp. Your doctor might also fold hair covered skin over a bald section (called a flap). Scalp reduction and hair transplanting may also be combined for cases of extreme balding.
