[|AI|]  Hello Rajesh, I can understand the pain you are going through. 15 years is a very long time. Alopecia errata is a very common disorder but most of the patients recover either on their own or with medicines within months. In few patients the disease is long-standing. Most of these patients have an associated disorder like hypothyroidism. These patients improve once I put them on thyroid medicines.I suggest you to get the following tests done:1. S.TSH2. S.free T33. S. free T44. Antithyroglobulin antibodies5. Anti TPO antibodies the twice-weekly regimen of Benson is the most accepted regimen for alopecia errata. Tab Azorean is also an immunosuppressant and will add to the effect. I would suggest you to also apply tacrolimus 0.1% lotion daily at effected areas.alopecia errata is an autoimmune disease and as with any other autoimmune disease the course cannot be predicted. We can give you the best advise available. Hope this answer helps. Get back to us for any further queries. Thanks.
