Hi,

Do not be confused. Hair loss in patches is the condition called alopecia areata. It is an autoimmune condition of unknown cause. Stress may be a precipitating factor.

I would suggest.

- tab. Levamisole 50 mg daily
- tab. Biotin 10 mg thrice a day
- tab. Folic acid 5 mg thrice a day
- apply tacrolimus 0.1% lotion on patches twice a day
- Intradermal injection of triamcinolone 10 mg in patches
- avoid stress and worries.

Take treatment under observation of dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
