Hi XXXX

Detailed Answer:
hi XXXX,

thank you for using healthcare magic.

from what I understand of your query I think you have some thing called Alopecia Areata which is usual an autoimmune problem in the hair bearing areas. I don't think it has any relation to your cold.

of course we have to actually examine to arrive at a proper diagnosis. but since you are seeing a dermatologist you can ask him/her regarding the same.

the treatment usually involves steroid injections into the affected areas spaced a month apart.

wishing you a speedy recovery
