18883 Androgenetic alopecia pattern hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata treated with oral JAK inhibitors

Abstract

Alopecia areata (AA) is a nonscarring autoimmune hair loss disorder for which new medications such as JAK inhibitors can result in significant hair regrowth. We present 2 cases of patients with long-standing AA treated with oral JAK inhibitors who regrew hair in a male-pattern baldness distribution. Both patients reported a 10-year history of AA with >50% hair loss and denied a history of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). At 3-month follow up, both experienced diffuse hair regrowth with notable bitemporal recession.
