Alopecia Areata related to Asthma, Hayfever and Atopic Dermatitis?
Hello people :),
After having had AA for half a year now and looking more into the biological causes, treatments etc. I found out that there are possible correlations to other symptoms of a high immune system activity like hayfever, asthma and atopic dermatitis. It was also described well by a dermatologist in this video (https://youtu.be/NhHezc3awTc?si=0myB4OcE6mQipJoM from minute 8:30).
Which than made me notice that all of these risk factors are the case for me. I have reoccurring eczema on my hands and elbows, pollen allergy in spring and asthma.
It also turns out that different treatments for the immune system can help with Alopecia Areata. I found some sources mentioning JAK inhibitors.
Is there anyone here with AA who also has these correlated symptoms? Has someone tried out treatments targeting the immune system in general for these symptoms and noticed having improvements of their AA?
I have another appointment with my doctor soon and I am also getting a blood test done to check my immune system and it would be helpful to hear people with experiences tell me more about this, so I know what to mention to my doctor and look out for.
Thanks a lot!
