God all these idiots who feel it necessary to open their pie holes when they have no idea what they are talking about. It's these morons who make Yahoo Answers so gay.





All these morons aside, it sounds like you are talking about ';Alopecia Universalis'; and the treatment is a steroid injection- though there are other drugs such as TNF inhibitors which also can help alleviate the condition some.


Unlike other forms of alopecia, this one affects all hair on the head, even body and facial hair. It's generally caused by an autoimmune reaction to one's own hair (thus the reason immune suppressants like Etanercept and steroid injections can help).





Thank you in advance for your best answer vote, and I now unfortunately must return you to the teaming sea of morons at Yahoo Answers.
