An expert discusses how treatment for alopecia areata begins with topical/intralesional therapies for limited disease and progresses to systemic options for extensive involvement or treatment resistance. Treatment decisions are guided by disease severity, patient age, comorbidities, and treatment goals. FDA-approved systemic agents include ritlecitinib (JAK3/TEC inhibitor) and baricitinib (JAK1/2 inhibitor), which block inflammatory pathways to promote hair regrowth with favorable efficacy, though they require monitoring for potential adverse effects.

An expert discusses how alopecia areata affects approximately 2% of the population globally, with onset typically in childhood or early adulthood. Patients often present with autoimmune comorbidities (thyroid disorders, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis) and psychological distress. Diagnostic challenges include differentiating from other hair loss conditions and predicting disease course. Treatment difficulties involve unpredictable responses, lack of standardized protocols, and addressing both physical symptoms and psychological impact.
