Hello, I have alopecia and i lose my hair and eyebrows. Also I am losing my body hair. My dermatologist told me to try protopic once a day. Some scattered white hair in my head is growing. Also told me to take rogaine pills. I didn’t start this yet. What do you suggest for me. I really need your advice.

Protopic is a prescription medication which you can read about at Drugs.com. This medication can be dangerous and must be prescribed by doctors who are experienced in its use. Some cancers can be induced at the skin level by this drug. For our readers, you should know that this is not a medication to get for treating hair loss.

I believe you’re describing alopecia totalis (see NAAF), but it is not really clear where you are in the disease progression. Also, your doctor likely mentioned Rogaine (minoxidil) topical — not pills. Do not take minoxidil pills to treat hair loss.
