Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic I suggest a possibility of alopecia areata. Alopecia areata presents as patches of hair loss/ baldness, most commonly on the scalp. The treatment that you have been prescribed is definitely not proving effective for your condition. Intralesional streoids and oral steroids are mainstays of treatment of alopecia areata. For just a few patches I prefer to treat my patients with intralesional steroids. However, for multiple patches I usually start my patients on Pulse oral steroids i.e 2 consecutive days every week. Oral steroids may have to be continued for 4-6 months, depending on the severity and response to treatment. Topical steroids, topical minoxidil are other treatment options that are usually combined with intralesional steroids/ oral steroids. You have been asked to use a topical steroid but that is a mild one and unlikely to be effective. I suggest that you seek another appointment with your dermatologist regarding the same. I think the best recourse of action would be either intralesional steroids Or pulse Oral steroids in addition to topical treatment with a potent steroid Or topical minoxidil. Regards
