Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have alopecia areata in spite of taking Multivitamin and Salicure. Well it is very important to find out exact cause of alopecia . Sometimes the reasons for hair loss is fungal infection or side effects of some medicine . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist again if you are not getting benefited . Doctor may prescribe antifungal along with minoxidil and finpecia , which take at least 3 months to show their effect . Doctor may also recommend you hair transplant with advance technique like HUE .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
