Hi,
It is alopecia areata. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest...
- biotin 10 mg tablets thrice a day
- levamisole 50 mg tablet once a day
- tacrolimus lotion 0.1% solution- apply twice a day
Continue treatment for few months till good response.
Thanks
