Iam facing this for the past 2 months and my doctor gave corticosteride injection(Triamcinolone acitonide) - 10 shots arround the scalp with .1 ml dosage at each area. Also he prescribed some creams such as tracolimus cream and betamethasone cream and also some tablet for supressing the WBC effect for 1 month course.I found some hair growth in the affected area but it not normal like other hairs.
