Hi,
You seem to suffer from alopecia areata. It is good that you consulted dermatologist for the treatment. Your doctor gave intradermal kenscort 10mg Inj .. which is likely to improve. I would add tab biotin 10 mg daily for few months. Continue to apply minoxidil5% solution on the patches. Avoid worries and tension, which may exacerbate the disease.
Hope this helps.
