Abstract
Therapy for alopecia areata (AA) in pediatric patients is challenging and unstandardized. Common treatments for alopecia include topical agents, triamcinolone injections, and systemic agents. Treatment using systemic agents in children is controversial due to possible negative side effects and the need for long term therapy because of potential relapse after cessation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of methotrexate therapy for the treatment of AA in pediatric patients.
