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

This case report highlights that trichoscopy facilitated early diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus of the scalp in a 9-year-old boy, with oral prednisone minipulse therapy leading to complete remission and hair regrowth.

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.

In this retrospective study, researchers observed that alopecia areata manifests in various forms among Malagasy children and presents challenges in treatment, with mixed regrowth results following corticosteroid therapy and methotrexate.

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.
