December 2024 in “Cureus” A case report details a young male with alopecia universalis who experienced significant hair regrowth but also extensive hair whitening after treatment with baricitinib, a JAK inhibitor.

Despite the whitening, baricitinib was well tolerated with no significant adverse effects.
