AlopeciaU 50 years, new member, Eyebrow/Lashes grewback Steriod, Question: Tofacitinib Cream

Hello all, have had Alopecia Universalis since childhood, bald, no eyelashes/eyebrows/beard now a man in his 60s.

Tofacititnib: I have 490 grams of Tofacitinib 2% Cream that I want to use on my eyebrows (dermatologist recommended this, bought from chemistry rx in philidelphia who did the compounding). I have checked the discussion on this site, not many successes with the Cream. 

My questions:

- What about the punitive possible side effects, this is scaring me off, should I be concerned with the Cream?

- Has anyone experienced cosmetically significant regrowth from the Cream? How long did it take?

Report: Kenalog Steroid I had kenalog epidural in neck for neck pain, 2 injections 90mg, unexpected side effect a month later: 

- my beard grew back, thicker than ever before 

- my eyebrows/eyelashes grew back completely 

- 6 months later beard and eyelashes gone...but eyebrows about 60% intact...would like to try the Tofacitinib Cream on eyebrows before they too fall out (I could also do eyebrow steroid injections).

- Comments?
