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 and topical Minoxidil in treating Scalp Alopecia Areata, focusing on CD8 cell expression. Using clinical, dermoscopic, and immunohistochemical methods, the researchers found that both treatments were effective, but Latanoprost showed a slightly higher improvement in hair regrowth and reduction in CD8 cell expression. The study involved a sample size of 50 patients, providing a robust comparison between the two treatments.

      in Minoxidil  39 upvotes 5 months ago
      Oral minoxidil is causing body hair growth but not improving scalp hair, despite using dutasteride and finasteride. Users suggest waiting longer for results, checking vitamin levels, and considering additional treatments like topical minoxidil, dermarolling, and supplements.
