Congenital Temporal Alopecia and How Hair Transplant Surgery Helps
Last weekend, at a friend's barbecue, I met an sociable married couple whose boy had Congenital Temporal Alopecia (CTA) and underwent a hair transplant surgery. On the day he entered the world (birth date), he had a bald patchy area on his head.
The boy grew very self-conscious about his bald spot. At school, his classmates even cruelly made fun of him because of it. His parents told him to wait until winter break (the time his parents had first planned to get it restored), but he couldn't stand the thought of waiting that long. So they did it during the Turkey holiday.
The surgery turned out to be a success. The doctor closely placed 470 follicular unit grafts onto the bald patch of his temple area. The boy was happy about it and anticipates the final growth of his hair grafts in the next few months.
Congenital Temporal Alopecia is a hair loss condition present at birth and takes the form of patchy hair loss on a child's head temple area. The bald patch can be made up of very fine hair. It's a non-scarring type of alopecia which, according to reports, responds rather positively to hair transplant surgery.
Congenital Temporal Alopecia tends to happen more frequently to people who have family members with alopecia, which hints that heredity might be a factor. Also, it is a little more likely to occur in those people who have relatives with autoimmune diseases.
Most people diagnosed with Congenital Temporal Alopecia are able to live normal, productive lives with the help of support groups made up of people with the same condition.
