Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a problem with alopecia for four months. My hair is not growing. Kindly suggest some medicine. I am on vitamins.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I saw your clinical picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The diagnosis is alopecia areata. The most effective treatment will be intralesional steroid injection. This is the injection given straight to the bald area. You need to meet a dermatologist for this. I suggest you take

  1. Mometasone cream - apply to the hairless area at night.
  2. Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment - apply to the hairless area in the morning.
  3. Do this treatment for two months. But, the injection is very effective. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
