TLDR Tofacitinib and oral minoxidil may help treat Sisaipho alopecia areata.
A study explored the treatment of Sisaipho alopecia areata, a rare variant of AA characterized by hair loss on the top of the scalp while sparing the temporal and occipital areas, using tofacitinib and oral minoxidil. The combination of these treatments showed promise in managing this challenging condition, which typically presents as nonscarring hair loss and can be difficult to treat.
