Hello Anonymous,

Alopecia totalis, also referred to as alopecia area, is thought to be an autoimmune condition. This occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue.

Common treatments are:

steroid injection under the skin surface

medicines applied to the skin, including corticosteroids, immunotherapy, and minoxidil, which a medication used to treat hypertension

ultraviolet light therapy

Please do not take the risk of going to Dr Batra , its simply wastage of money and time. Never do such mistake.
