Suggest Treatment For Bald Spot On Eyebrows Caused By Sebbhoric Dermatitis

I have sebbhoric dermatitis and it isn t really bad anymore but I have bald spots on my eyebrows and it s been there for probably 2 years and doesn t seem to be growing back. Actually I think it s getting worse. My dermatologist gave me ketaconazole cream to put on it but that doesn t really seem to be working either. They aren t itchy and really aren t that flaky anymore they just won t grow back. Thanks, Meghan

Hi,

You seem to have alopecia areata on eyebrows. Kindly consult the dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It is an autoimmune disease.

I would suggest...

- apply tacrolimus oint. 0.03%
- immunomodulator like levamisole 50 mg daily
- tab biotin 10 mg daily
- if needed, intralesional steroid Inj. like triamcinolone 10 mg

I hope this would improve the condition in few weeks to few months.

Thanks.
