For Alopecia areata, injections are better .If not possible now, there are few topical applications available which give results. Kindly go for online consultation to start it ,as if not treated early the patch has a tendency to increase in size also.

Alopecia areata is the condition that you are suffered from. An injection will help to heal the patch faster.
You can do an online consultation to guide you better.
