Ophiasis alopecia areata treated with microneedling.

We present a case of a 58-year-old white man with AA, ophiasis pattern, who was treated with clobetasol 0.05% solution and four treatments of microneedling with triamcinolone over 6 months. He underwent gradual improvement, most notably on his left occipital scalp where his hair loss was most prominent, with near complete hair regrowth on his left occipital scalp. Microneedling with triamcinolone can be considered as a promising treatment in cases of ophiasis AA. PMID: 32675968 [PubMed]
