    TLDR Cortisone and ACTH didn't help her hair or nails, but her hair grew back on its own.
    An 11-year-old girl with alopecia areata and nail changes showed no clinical response to cortisone and corticotropin (ACTH) treatments from 1953 to 1954. By January 1955, she experienced considerable regrowth of scalp hair but no improvement in her nail condition.
