After discontinuing azathioprine and minoxidil, and starting tofacitinib, the girl's scalp hair regrew, and forehead hypertrichosis resolved. The case highlights the importance of proper minoxidil application to avoid hypertrichosis and demonstrates the effectiveness of tofacitinib in treating alopecia areata.
