bald spots in the face

I was prescribed Fluticasone propionate cream
for alopecia in my beard, is this medicine used to treat this?

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
Fluticasone is a steroid which is used topically in treatment of beard alopecia. Steroid injections are also commonly used in sites where there are small areas of hair loss.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
