Hi,

I can understand your concern for the alopecia. You have not mentioned whether it is alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.

Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

Intradermal triamcinolone may be effective in alopecia areata. Trioxsalen solution may be applied on patches in alopecia areata.

Minoxidil 5% solution may be applied on bald area of androgenetic alopecia.
Finesteride 1 mg may be taken daily .

In both condition biotin 10 mg tablet daily would improve the condition.

I hope this would help.

Thanks.
