Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Alopecia totalis can be treated with high dose corticosteroid or immunosuppressant therapy. As it is associated with increased side effects, this therapy requires constant monitoring. Please do consult nearby dermatologist. During treatment you can use camouflages such as wigs.

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