Aims and objective: to compare the effect of Phenol, Minoxidil and intralesional steroid on patients of Alopecia. Results: Rate of obtaining excellent response was highest with intralesional triamchinolone 78.57% patient showed excellent response by end of 6 months of follow up. Second highest rate was obtained with topical phenol 60% patients with this treatment showed excellent response by end of 6 month.
