Suggest Treatment For Less Hair Growth In Moustache Region
Hi, Good evening Doctor.
One year back suddenly, hair growth stopped in my part(around 2 cms) of my left mustache. I consulted one of dermatologist and he suggested to apply Minoxidil in that area and i used it for two months and I didn't find any hair growth. Because of this I have to shave regularly. sometimes I am getting a feel like insect moving on the skin. Please give me the reason for this and how do I get hair growth in that area again. Please help me in this regard
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, you might be suffering from alopecia areata. Do continue minoxidil and it will take 6 months for treatment response. Be patient. You can also use topical corticosteroid cream under supervision of your dermatologist. Use corticosteroid cream only if the diagnosis of Alopecia areata is confirmed by a Dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
