Alopecia Areata of Eyebrows— Corticosteroids

The document reports on a study involving 11 men with alopecia areata of the eyebrows treated with intralesional corticosteroid injections, resulting in cosmetically significant regrowth in 17 out of 22 eyebrows. Various concentrations of hydrocortisone acetate, prednisolone, and hydrocortisone t-butylacetate were used, with the latter potentially offering superior duration of growth. The treatment was considered practical and effective for the cosmetically sensitive eyebrow area, despite issues like pain and swelling and the need for repeated injections to maintain regrowth.
