Sir, I am Rahul (24 yrs). When i was 12 yrs old i was suffering with a skin problem (Lichen Planus). I had round black patches on my lower leg.I was on long medication(approx 6 to 7 yrs).At last my doctor gave injection on all the patches which cleared all the patches except one patch(little bigger compared to all and still exists). Now after all these medication, since 2 & 1/2 yrs i am suffering with Alopecia Areata. This is now leading to Alopecia Totalis. Please advise me whether this alopecia started bcoz of my previous medication history??? Thank You.
Alopecia areata is not related to your previous medicines. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease of hair follicles not related to any medicines.
