| Abstract | ||
| Background: Those with the autoimmune disease alopecia areata (AA) may experience temporary hair loss on the scalp or in other regions where hair typically grows. Hair loss can occur in discrete areas on the scalp or all over the body, but AA can also express itself in more diffuse forms. Most people with AA go through unpredictable cycles of relapse and remission. Some individuals, especially those with significant hair loss, may experience chronicity. Objective: Review of literature aboutpractical approach for treatment lines of alopecia areata. Methods: We searched Science Direct, Google Scholar as well as PubMed for relevant articles on Alopecia Areata and its Treatment. However, only the most recent or thorough study was taken into account between September 2001 and April 2021. The authors also evaluated the value of resources culled from other works in the same genre. Documents written in languages other than English have been ignored due to a lack of translation funds. Unpublished works, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations were generally agreed upon not to qualify as scientific research. Conclusion: Care for patients with alopecia areata include providing emotional support and making treatment options available to those who want them. Response to treatment for alopecia areata varies greatly, and few well-designed clinical trials have examined the methods that have been used. Methods such as topical, intralesional, and systemic medications and devices are used in these treatments. Due to the limited but promising evidence supporting the effectiveness of other treatments, individuals with patchy alopecia areata typically begin treatment with intralesional or topical corticosteroids. | ||
