Suggest Treatment For Alopecia Barbae
I am male 27 years old, I had a symptom of Alopecia Barbie and the patch was very small, lets say less than a centimeter. My doctor suggested me to apply a rubefacient cream and fluticasone cream, but just within 3 days of application the patch started to increase and within a week or two it has grown to a size of an inch in diameter.
I have currently stopped applying the rubefacient as it really used to give me a feeling that it was burning my skin, but i am continuing fluticasone.
Do you have a solution for this kind of Alopecia Barbie

Hi,
You seem to have alopecia areata on beard area. It is considered as autoimmune skin disease.exact cause is not known. Stress might trigger the disease. You just relax and avoid anxiety. You will definitely get improvement.
I woul like to suggest...
- steroid in tappering dose
- immunobooster like levamisole 50 mg at night
- biotin 10 mg tab daily
- application of mild steroid like mometasone
- application of tacrolimus lotion
- intradermal steroid injection in patch
You consult dermatologist and have perfect treatment.
I hope this would help you..
Thanks.
