Hello AJU and welcome to ChatDoctorAlopecia errata is a condition where the body reacts against the hair, causing it to fall off. You will need more specific treatments for the same. You can continue with the tablets and gel application, they help give nutrition for hair growth, but will not treat the reaction in your body. For that you will need stronger medication like steroids. I would advise you to see a dermatologist regarding steroid injections in the bald areas. This will stop the reaction from spreading and slowly stop the hairball. It also gives faster hair growth. In many cases it gives a good permanent resolution. But since it is an allergic or immunity related disease, it can happen again in new areas. You will need to follow up regularly and take proper treatment. You may also have to check for other diseases like thyroid disorders, white patches(vitiligo) or anemia which have similar causes. There are also newer options which can be tried along with your present medications. Do consult a dermatosurgeon for further opinion regarding what is best for you. Keep in mind that it will take time, and also to take good nutritious diet, avoid harsh chemicals or anything you might be allergic to, avoid stress. Hope this helps.
