    GlossarySALT Score (Severity of Alopecia Tool 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.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present.
