well your condition could be due to the medicines you have taken- cant be sure with the above details.
the description you have given suggests you have been taking oral steroids in an irregular manner.
are you consulting a doc for the above condition- a dermat for alopecia and a gynae for menses problem.
if yes can you provide a few more details so that a proper response can be given to you.
like-- since when you are suffering from alopecia areata?
for how long you took wysolone- continous or intermittent and at what dose- at one time or divided dose?
how many injections did you take ?
whether you have past history of menstraul disorders?
any thyroid problem, anaemia?
plz do answer the above to get a more detailed feedback
