    Anthralin, also known as Dithranol, is a medication commonly used to treat psoriasis and sometimes alopecia areata. It works by slowing down the growth of skin cells and reducing inflammation. While effective, it can cause skin irritation and staining, so it is typically applied under medical supervision.
