This case report describes a 29-year-old woman with longstanding alopecia areata who experienced improvement in her scalp hair loss after 7 years of topical treatment with squaric acid dibutylester.

This case report documents a reversible instance of complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis) in a patient undergoing chronic hepatitis C treatment with pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin, with hair regrowth observed within three months after therapy completion.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.

This study found that dermatological adverse events from interferon-alpha/ribavirin treatment for chronic hepatitis C are associated with factors like older age, pre-existing skin conditions, cirrhosis, and the use of pegylated interferon formulations.

This case report describes a rare instance of alopecia universalis occurring eight weeks after discontinuing pegylated interferon α and ribavirin therapy, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare providers.
