January 2019 in “Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology /Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venerology” Mixing calcipotriol with a steroid is almost as effective as using a steroid alone for alopecia areata and has fewer side effects.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia.
