In this case report, a 35-year-old man developed avascular necrosis after receiving intradermal corticosteroid injections for alopecia areata, marking the first documented instance of this side effect from such treatment.

In this study, researchers found that combining topical 5% minoxidil with intradermal triamcinolone microinjections significantly improved hair density in women with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone. However, further research is necessary to confirm these findings in a larger population.

This case report highlights that intradermal testing may be more effective than patch testing for diagnosing delayed hypersensitivity reactions to intralesional corticosteroids like triamcinolone acetonide.

This study found that intralesional minoxidil alone has limited efficacy for non-severe patchy alopecia areata, though it may accelerate hair regrowth compared to spontaneous recovery.

This case report highlights a rare instance of permanent hair loss caused by an allergic reaction to a mesotherapy mixture containing triamcinolone acetonide, suggesting that hypersensitivity reactions to such mixtures are possible.
