Abstract

Objective: Inflammation is one of the mechanisms through which the body protects itself from external pathogens and foreign substances. It can arise from various causes, including tissue damage, infections, and antigen-antibody reactions. If not properly managed, it can lead to inflammatory hair loss, significantly disrupting daily life. Therefore, accurate identification of the underlying causes and appropriate treatment are essential. Case Report: This case study involved a Korean male in his 40s who experienced inflammation and inflammatory hair loss caused by a lipoma. The patient reported discomfort due to frequent episodes of inflammation and alopecia areata on the occipital region. Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) was applied, utilizing anthocyanins, omega-3, bamboo leaf extract, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and plant-based oils. As a result, significant reductions in redness and swelling in the occipital area were observed, along with notable improvement in the symptoms of alopecia areata. Conclusion: This case demonstrated that OCNT could significantly improve inflammation-related symptoms and associated hair loss in the patient. The study also highlighted the usefulness of tailoring OCNT prescriptions to suit the patient's symptoms and condition. However, as this research is limited to a single case, follow-up observation is necessary to confirm the sustainability of the improved condition.
