congenital triangular alopecia sublingual minoxidil hair regrowth alopecia Rogaine

TLDR Sublingual minoxidil helped regrow hair in a person with congenital triangular alopecia.

The clinical letter discusses the regrowth of hair in a patient with congenital triangular alopecia (CTA) following treatment with sublingual minoxidil. Although the document does not provide detailed study data or participant numbers, it highlights a case where sublingual minoxidil, a medication typically used for hair loss, successfully induced hair regrowth in an individual with CTA. This suggests a potential new treatment avenue for this rare form of alopecia, which traditionally has limited therapeutic options.
