This is not the trestmentm for alopecia Areata. You may be having alopecia areata. this is an autoimmune condition due to the attack of lymphocytes against hair roots. This may have spread to become totalis. . It results in the formation of bald patches on the scalp. It can affect any hairy area of the body also like eyebrows and beard. It has to be treated properly for long duration until the immunity comes down. Once the immunity is controlled, hair grows back over the patches. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment. ,
