May 2024 in “Indian Journal of Pharmacology” An 11-year-old girl with alopecia totalis experienced complete hair loss on her scalp and was initially treated with topical minoxidil, azathioprine, and dexamethasone. The treatment led to hair growth on her forehead but not on her scalp, and azathioprine caused transaminitis. 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. Proper patient counseling on minoxidil use is crucial to prevent side effects.

September 2024 in “Journal of Dermatological Treatment” This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of combining compound glycyrrhizin (CG) with topical minoxidil for treating alopecia areata (AA) by analyzing 11 randomized controlled trials involving 1,189 patients. The combination therapy was found to be more effective than minoxidil alone, improving clinical efficacy and reducing SALT scores, serum TNF-α, IL-12, and IFN-γ levels, while increasing serum TGF-β1 levels. No significant differences in adverse events were observed between the two groups. Despite these positive findings, the study calls for more high-quality, large-scale RCTs to further validate the results due to the suboptimal quality of the included studies.
