Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For alopecia universalis I would suggest pulse therapy with methyl prednisolone. Other remedies includes oral cyclosporine and more recently Tofacitnib.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
