Comparison Between the Effectiveness of Topical Latanoprost and Topical Minoxidil in Treating Scalp Alopecia Areata in Relation to CD8 Cell Expression: A Study Using Clinical, Dermoscopic, and Immunohistochemical Methods

    TLDR Minoxidil is more effective than Latanoprost for treating patchy alopecia areata.
    The study compared the effectiveness of topical Latanoprost (1%) and topical Minoxidil (5%) in treating patchy alopecia areata in 30 patients. Both treatments significantly improved dermoscopic findings and reduced CD8 T lymphocyte infiltration, indicating decreased inflammation. However, Minoxidil showed higher efficacy than Latanoprost. Side effects like erythema and itching were minor and insignificant. Overall, both treatments were beneficial for hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.
