    A 29-year-old male with alopecia areata (AA) experienced localized hair loss on the occipital and right temporal scalp. The treatment involved a combination of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections at 3-week intervals. After 5 months, the combination therapy yielded satisfactory results. Despite the ease of diagnosing AA, treatment remained challenging due to the lack of randomized controlled trials and the psychological impact of AA, which could lead to anxiety and depression.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
