Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of alopecia aerata and hairfall, my treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Apply a tacrolimus 0.03 %ointment twice daily on affected part.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are mesotherapy and injectable multivitamins given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
