Suggest Medication For Hair Loss

Hello Doctor

I'm noticing a strange problem on my head scalp. My hairs are falling in such a way that its making a coin shape. Could you please explain what exactly is the problem? Is it curable ? How much time it will take to get my hair back?
Thanks in Advance,
Satya

Hi..

It is alopecia areata. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

It is an autoimmune disease of unknown cause. It is a curable disease. Stress might precipitate.

Intradermal steroid injection, tacrolimus lotion application, levamisole, oral steroid in tapering dose etc may be considered.

I hope this would help.

Thanks.
