Asked for Female, 24 Years

Can arthritis lead to Alopecia? I have both. After starting the medication for Arthritis (TOFE 5 mg and Salazar DS) I spotted a patch in my scalp five months ago. After proper treatment i have full hair growth in the patch now. In case I stop immunosuppressant (Only on TOFE 5 mg at the moment) for arthritis in future after consulting doct. Will this trigger alopecia areata and lead to patchy scalp again? Pls reply
