Hi.
As per your case history you are having alopecia aerata.
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 bald patch.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
