Alopecia: Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Novel Treatment Strategies
Alopecia is an autoimmune and non-communicable disorder. The immune system, especially Tlymphocytes, present around the hair follicle attacks, cause inflammation and loss of hair from some or all areas of the scalp. It is highly prevalent in the United States; an estimated 4.5 million are affected by this disease. Finasteride and minoxidil are mostly used to treat alopecia in the form of solutions and gels. However, their use has been limited due to severe adverse effects observed during therapy. This article summarizes the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, sign and symptoms, and diagnostic parameters with a focus on novel treatment strategies.
