    TLDR Pediatric androgenetic alopecia is underrecognized, and clinical evaluation is crucial for diagnosis, with potential treatments including minoxidil and finasteride.
    The document reviewed the state of evidence concerning pediatric androgenetic alopecia, highlighting it as an underrecognized disorder. It emphasized the importance of clinical evaluation with trichoscopy in children and adolescents experiencing hair loss or reduced hair density. Diagnosis was primarily clinical, involving observation of hair loss patterns and trichoscopy, with hyperandrogenism being excluded in some cases. Although no approved therapies existed for pediatric androgenetic alopecia, topical and oral minoxidil, as well as topical finasteride, were considered potentially useful. Hair transplants were suggested as an option for girls in selected cases.
