Brief Answer:
Need medication for oral use

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear

Welcome to this site!
I am Dr V XXXXXXX answering your query. I am a Sr Consultant Dermatologist.

For such a problem, I advise the following to my patients and receive excellent feedback:

1 Use of hair stimulant like Folica solution to the affected hairless patch twice a day for some weeks initially should give the desired results.

2 However, there are other medications that can be given later on to supplement or replace the previous one , as per needs.

3 Using hormonal preparation in the initial stage of treatment can affect adversely.

Hope this helps you.

Best wishes!

Hello sir,

Thanks for the response. Do I get the Folica solution without any prescription from medical store?

What are the other options if the Folica solution doesn't work as desired?

Brief Answer:
Availability depends on local regulations

Detailed Answer:
My Dear
Welcome.

Folica availability may vary from one to another area.

I would suggest you to check stores and avoid substitutes.
Other options are using injectable steroids which should be deferred for now.
We should follow safe and well tried options first


Best wishes.
