hello
I would be pleased to answer your question .

Your BALD spots over the scalp are not related to any product or AMBEREN applications.
They are mostly something described as Alopecia Areata .
This condition is associated with balding on the scalp. Multiple patches of balding can be seen ( which are commonly size of quarters)

This condition is commonly treated with intralesional steroid injection that is the steroid ( triamcinolone ) is injected in to the bald spot . The hair grows back in a few weeks time and repeated injection may be needed.

Please do book an appointment with the Dermatologist.

Thanks and Take care
