Hi, Do not be confused. Hair loss in patches is the condition called alopecia errata. It is an autoimmune condition of unknown cause. Stress may be a precipitating factor. I would suggest. - tab. Camisole 50 mg daily-tab. Biotin 10 mg thrice a day-tab. Folic acid 5 mg thrice a day-apply tacrolimus 0.1% lotion on patches twice a day- Intradermal injection of triamcinolone 10 mg in patches-avoid stress and worries. Take treatment under observation of dermatologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
