Efficacy of systemic minoxidil and tofacitinib combination in treatment‐resistant alopecia universalis

Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune nonscarring alopecic disorder, which presents with varying amounts of hair loss, ranging from focal patchy loss to entire scalp and body hair loss. Treatment of AA is a challenging issue within dermatology practice. Although many treatment options are present, response to medications remains unsatisfactory, especially in severe and recalcitrant cases. In this study, we present a case of treatment‐resistant AU, which was successfully treated by the combination of tofacitinib and oral minoxidil.
