Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of alopecia areata, including its presentation, underlying pathophysiology, and available treatment options.
  • To emphasize the importance of evaluating treatment efficacy, risks, and benefits for personalized patient management.

Summary:

  • Alopecia areata is characterized by a CD4 lymphocytic infiltrate around the hair follicle, implicated in hair shedding.
