Abstract
Abstract Background: People of all ages and genders may be afflicted by the common inflammatory, non-scaring, hair loss illness known as alopecia areata (AA). Aims: The efficacy of intralesional vitamin D3 injection for the treatment of patchy alopecia areata was evaluated in this research. Patients and Methods: Twenty adult patients with localized alopecia areata participated in the clinical study. There were a total of four sessions with one milliliter (1 ml) of intralesional vitamin D3 permitted. Dermoscopy and the 5-point semiquantitative regrowth score (RGS) were used to assess the treatment's effectiveness. Results: With a p-value of 0.001, the 5-point semiquantitative regrowth score( RGS) showed a clinically meaningful improvement after treatment. With dermoscopy , signs of activity were reduced, signs of improvement increased, and by the third month of treatment, improvements were apparent. Conclusion: Patchy alopecia areata may be effectively treated with intralesional vitamin D3 which is safe and not expensive.
