research Approach to Managing Recalcitrant Alopecia Areata with Combination Therapy: A Series of Five Cases in Black Pediatric Patients
This case series examines the management of recalcitrant Alopecia Areata (AA) in five Black pediatric patients using a combination therapy approach. The treatment included topical janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), oral fexofenadine, and vitamin D supplementation, with additional therapies like oral upadacitinib, platelet-rich plasma, red light therapy, and excimer UVB phototherapy in some cases. All patients experienced significant hair regrowth and reduced disease severity, achieving Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment scores of ≤ 1, indicating minimal or no disease activity.
