Greetings.  Alopecia Areata is an  auto immune condition and rather chronic or recurrent in some patients.  The line of treatment initiated for you is perfectly fine and depending on the response you may or may not need few more sittings of the injection treatment..trust a qualified dermatologist whom you must be visiting. Warm regards
