Alopecia Areata And Regrowth Of Hair

The document discussed the recurrence of alopecia areata (AA) and hair regrowth. It acknowledged that while most patients with AA experienced hair regrowth in affected areas, recurrences were common. A study by Muller and Winkelmann found that 80% of children and 65% of adults had recurrences over five years. Additionally, a follow-up evaluation showed that only 28% of patients treated with alternate-day prednisone therapy had lasting hair regrowth, aligning with previous findings.
