    TLDR Saudi dermatologists' understanding and use of low-dose oral Minoxidil for hair loss may not be fully represented due to a small survey sample and language barriers.
    The letter discusses a study on dermatologists' knowledge, attitude, and practice pattern toward low-dose oral Minoxidil in hair loss in Saudi Arabia. The study involved 84 dermatologists, but the authors of the letter argue that this sample size is not representative of the total number of dermatologists in Saudi Arabia, which was 2678 in 2020. They also suggest that the questionnaire used in the study could have been more comprehensive, including information about where the dermatologists primarily work and their educational background. The authors also note that the survey was in English, which may have limited participation as the official language of Saudi Arabia is Arabic. They suggest future research could use focus groups and longitudinal studies to provide more insight into the use of low-dose oral Minoxidil.
