Hello,

I have gone through your query and would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate lotion on the affected area twice daily for 3-4 weeks. This will help in causing hair regrowth.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
