Hi I am Dr Manoj
The kind of hair loss patches you are getting is alopecia areata...no one knows the exact cause...it is autoimmune disease...intra lesional steroid injections ifs the best treatment tho stimulate the hair growth....so you can cont with the same transient...if the lessons are spreading you can try mini steroid pulse therapy on weekly basis....this ll help to stop the progression....have healthy food, proper sleep and avoid any kind of stress....get your thyroid, GB and blood sugar level checked....don't worry
