I was recently diagnosed with alopecia areata and have had steroid injection in scalp. Last night i discovered that my scalp seems to be indented right at affected spot. Can the alopecia be causing tissue death? If so what are treatments for this?

i too have been diagnosed with the same thing, i have had it for about 7+ years, and it was never a huge issue, until i got pregnant and my body went crazy. my hair fell out so much, it couldnt be hidden and i had to wear bandanas and even a wig while pregnant. I went to my doctor for steroid injections all over my scalp, that was in June, now a month after my son's birth, hair has stopped falling out, and the steroids stimulated the growth in the bald spots( there were sooo many.), as to the small indentions in your scalp, i have them too. It is not dead tissue or anything like that. I freaked out when i noticed them cause some seem like deep craters, and i thought people would notice. It is one of the side effects some people experience from the injections. Your doc should have told ya, even before the shots, mine didn't either until after i noticed them- he thought the nurse had filled me in. anyway, they arent noticable unless you shave your head:) but they will always be there, so my doc says. The "dent" isn't from alopecia- it's from the steroid!

Your doctor should be able to fill you in about this. I don't think this is serious but, to make sure, talk to him. There are controls for this.

This involves the immune system making a mistake and, attacking the hair and, destroying the follicles, not the tissue or scalp.

While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.
