INTRALESIONAL CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS. This method of treatment ? the most common form of treatment for alopecia areata ? uses corticosteroids that are injected into bare patches of skin with a tiny needle. These injections are repeated about every four to six weeks and are usually given by a dermatologist Minoxidil (Rogaine). This treatment, which is put on the scalp, is already used for pattern baldness. It usually takes about 12 weeks before you see growth, and some users are disappointed in the results. Other treatments for alopecia areata include medications that are sometimes used for other autoimmune disorders.
