Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss

Am facing problem of Hair loss since last 3-4 month. It started with one/two patches on back side, but seems to be growing in other areas. It appeared around my Mustaches and had to be clean shaved now. I know this is Alopecia areata (Undri).Appreciate to help me how do I prevent it and also regain my lost hair .Also need to know if this has any linkages with Garlic. as being high BP patient, am consuming raw garlic with lunch since past 3-4 months.

Thanks and regards;

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Dont worry alopecia areata is a reversible condition even without treatment.It has no relation with garlic. The only reason treatment is given because sometimes patients require earlier results. These include following (but most the list will be available only by doctor's prescription):
1. Topical Derobin short contact treatment
2. Topcial steroids
3. Intralesional injections.
4. Topical salicylic acid.
5. Excimer Laser treatment

There are many more also but the most effective ones are given above
