Shampoo & conditioner for alopecia totalis

This may be a stupid question but is it necessary to use shampoo and conditioner if you have alopecia, especially if you know if your hair is not going to grow back?

Shampoo and condition is designed to cleanse your hair and scalp. I don't have any bio hair left, but I do have a lot of those crazy white hairs on my head, I buzz it off about once every couple of months so I do have some hair on my head, I do use shampoo to cleanse my scalp, I think other soaps may be too drying hope that helps. I don't use conditioner tho.

As It happens I saw my dermatologist a couple of weeks ago and asked him what to use on my scalp. (I have AU).  He suggested Dove unscented body wash and Cerve moisturizer.

I use whatever body soap or facial soap and use aloe vera gel on my scalp after.
