GlossarySALT Score

standardized method to quantify hair loss in alopecia areata

The SALT Score, or Severity of Alopecia Tool, is a standardized method used by dermatologists to quantify the extent of hair loss in patients with alopecia areata. It involves dividing the scalp into four regions and assigning a percentage of hair loss to each region, which are then combined to produce an overall score ranging from 0 (no hair loss) to 100 (total scalp hair loss). This tool helps in assessing the severity of the condition and monitoring treatment progress.
