Hi.
As per your case history you are having alopecia areata.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Don't take stress as it may worsen the condition.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement and zinc supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Apply a tacrolimus 0.03 %ointment on patch of hair loss twice daily.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
