Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic Alopecia Areata clinically presents as smooth, bald patch(es) of hair loss. The condition more commonly affects the scalp but can also affect other hairy areas like beard, mustache, eyebrows and eyelashes. These bald patches may regrow new hair spontaneously, however patients frequently ask for treatment because of unsightly appearance of these bald patches. The hair that regrows initially, may be fine and light colored Or may be totally white but later on re-pigment. The treatment that you are using is a topical steroid i.e Mometasone furoate in a cream base along with Oral Zinc sulphate. Zinc sulphate has a doubtful role in Alopecia areata. Topical steroids do seem to help in cases of Alopecia areata but they are not first line treatment in adults; however they are first line in children. Intra-lesional injections of long acting depot preparations of steroid e.g triamcinolone acetonide is the treatment of choice in adults. The injections are usually administered once every 3 weeks and bald patches usually new hair regrow in about 2-3 injections. I suggest you to talk with your dermatologist in more details about this form of treatment. Regards
