Periocular Pigmentation Associated with Use of Travoprost for the Treatment of Alopecia Areata of the Eyelashes

The document discussed the association between periocular pigmentation and the use of travoprost for treating alopecia areata of the eyelashes. The study was conducted by researchers from the Department of Dermatology at the University of Bologna. It highlighted that while travoprost was effective in promoting eyelash growth, it also led to increased pigmentation around the eyes. This side effect was significant enough to warrant consideration when prescribing travoprost for alopecia areata in the eyelashes.
