Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
You seem to be suffering from alopecia areata. The treatment of choice will be injection of steroid (triamcinolone) into the patch by a dermatologist, procedure is called intra lesional steroid injection. This can be repeated every month till hair regrowth occurs. Between injections you may continue tacrolimus 0.1 % ointment.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
