    TLDR The patient with lupus and hair loss improved with oral and topical minoxidil.
    This clinical case discusses a patient with long-standing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and androgenic alopecia who had suboptimal results from previous treatments. Managing alopecia is medically challenging due to its potential psychiatric risk factors, making timely diagnosis and treatment crucial. Various treatments exist, including topical, oral, and mesotherapy. In this case, the patient showed a satisfactory response to both oral and topical minoxidil.
