TLDR Managing alopecia areata in children needs a personalized approach considering genetic, immune, and environmental factors.

The article analyzed various studies on the causes and development of alopecia areata in children, highlighting the influence of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. It emphasized the role of disruptions in lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection, which affect organ function, local blood flow, and skin parameters. The study also noted the impact of microcirculation issues and vitamin D deficiencies on the condition. The authors concluded that managing alopecia areata in children required a personalized approach, considering factors like local blood flow, skin function, related health issues, vitamin D levels, and antioxidant system disruptions.
