alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder. and just tugging won't be enough. you also need a cream to decrease the inflammation at the follicular root level. but the patch needs to be examined first to rule out any contraindications.You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
