Abstract
Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disorder that affects hair follicles during the anagen phase, resulting in non-scarring hair loss that is difficult to manage. All therapies for AA are regarded as off-label. Although these treatments may promote hair growth, they aren't deemed curative since they can't modify the disease's typical trajectory. Age, overall health, and the extent of hair loss all influence the optimal treatment approach. Therapeutic drugs utilized for the management of alopecia areata including topical and systemic corticosteroids, minoxidil, phototherapy, anthralin, and topical immunotherapy.
