Efficacy and Safety of Combination of Mometasone Furoate 0.1% Cream and Adapalene 0.1% Gel in Alopecia Areata

The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a combination treatment using mometasone furoate 0.1% cream and adapalene 0.1% gel in 40 patients with alopecia areata over 6 months. Results showed that 35% of patients experienced complete hair regrowth, 5% had 75% regrowth, and 60% saw no improvement. Side effects were common, with 85% of patients experiencing issues such as erythema, irritation, and telangiectasia, but these were mild and manageable. The combination treatment was deemed favorable for mild cases of alopecia areata and could be easily applied at home.
