Abstract
Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a kind of alopecia that affects the retinal pigment epithelium, nails, and hair follicles sporadically. It is a kind of hair loss that doesn't leave scars and often manifests as rounded patches. Alopecia areata may be treated with a variety of methods, including topical, systemic, and injectable ones. Aim of the work: The major aim of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of topical lactic acid 15% solution versus topical betamethasone Valerate Lotion in management of multiple patchy alopecia aerata. Patients and methods: 50 patients in all were included, after consenting each of them and split into two equal groups. Group A (Topical 15% Lactic acid group) includes 25 patients presented with multiple patches of alopecia aerata were treated with topical 15% of lactic acid, applied on patches using wood stick by patient himself three times weekly for 12 weeks. Group B (Betamethasone Valerate lotion group) includes 25 patients presented with multiple patches of alopecia aerata were treated with betamethasone valerate lotion which was applied twice daily for 12 weeks by patient himself. Results: topical betamethasone valerate lotion is advised to be used in treatment of multiple patchy alopecia aerate. The current research may add to the body of knowledge and provide some insight for future studies that will have a bigger sample size, evaluate side effects, and have a longer follow-up time to review their results. Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that topical betamethasone valerate lotion is better and more effective than topical lactic acid 15% solution in management of multiple patchy alopecia aerate.
