Brief Answer:
Remedy for alopecia areata

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr. kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern. I would have preferred if you would have uploaded an image of the affected area in "Reports Section" for confirmation of the diagnosis.

Treatment of choice for a focal patch of alopecia areta on scalp is intralesional injection of a depot steroid preparation e.g triamcinolone acetonide 10mg/ml (Tricort or Kenacort injection). The injections may be infiltrated into the bald patch either in 1:1 dilution or without any dilution. Injection may require to be repeated after 3 weeks. Two or 3 sessions of injections are usually effective.

There are other commonly used treatment options for focal alopecia areata but they might take longer to show visible results-

-Topical ultra potent steroid lotion e.g either halobetasol propionate 0.05% lotion (Halox lotion), clobetasol propionate 0.05% lotion (Topsor lotion).
- Minoxidil 5% solution (Mintop forte solution)
- Tincture folica (benzoic acid, Vitamin K and salicylic acid).

Ideally I suggest you to visit any nearby dermatologist and discuss about this option of Tricort 10mg/ml injection or Kenacort 10mg/ml injection (triamcinolone acetonide 10mg/ml) or else you may use Halox 0.05% lotion at day time and Minoxidil 5% solution for night application on the bald patch. In addition, I also suggest you to take an oral biotin supplement e.g H vit forte tablet, once daily for 3-4 weeks.

Regards
