In this observational study, researchers found that mini-pulse oral corticosteroids effectively reduced hair loss in alopecia areata patients who did not respond to topical therapies, though early-onset patients and those with hypothyroidism were less likely to benefit.

Mini pulse corticosteroid therapy with oral dexamethasone is effective and has fewer side effects for treating extensive alopecia areata.

This study reviewed a corticosteroid treatment regimen for a 52-year-old woman with extensive alopecia areata, showing significant hair regrowth and sustained remission over 12 months, suggesting oral mini-pulse therapy as a viable alternative for those ineligible for JAK inhibitors.

This review discusses the potential role of systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of progressive vitiligo, but reports no new clinical results and suggests further research is needed.

This study reviewed evidence suggesting that systemic corticosteroids, particularly in pulse regimens like dexamethasone and betamethasone oral mini-pulse, effectively slow vitiligo progression and support repigmentation, while offering a favorable safety profile compared to continuous therapy.
