External Application of Wiesbaden Q in Alopecia Areata: A Clinical Case Report

Dr Viraj Patel

Abstract
Alopecia areata is a non-scarring autoimmune disorder characterized by sudden patchy hair loss. Conventional management includes corticosteroids and immunotherapy; however, recurrence and side effects remain concerns. This case report describes a 28-year-old male with localized alopecia areata managed exclusively with external application of Wiesbaden mother tincture (Q). Significant hair regrowth was observed within four months without internal medication. This case suggests a possible role of topical homoeopathic mother tincture in localized alopecia areata and warrants further clinical investigation.

Alopecia areata is considered an autoimmune condition mediated by CD8+ T lymphocytes targeting hair follicles. Environmental triggers, including occupational chemical exposure, may play a contributory role

Conclusion
