Hello doctor,
There is a hairless patch forming in my beard. The hairless patch feels smoother. Please help.
Hi,
- It is called alopecia areata. I suggest you try the following:
- Desowen cream (Desonide), twice daily.
- Visit a dermatologist for intralesional steroid injection (ILS), it helps hair regrowth. It is given once in three weeks.
- Oral zinc supplement, tablet Zinfate, once daily for a month.
Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent.
