Alopecia areata in children: response to treatment with diphencyprone.

Twelve children with extensive alopecia areata or alopecia totalis were treated with the contact allergen diphencyprone. The duration of treatment ranged from 5 months to 1 year. Eight of the 12 (67%) regrew scalp hair and in four (33%) there was a complete regrowth. Six months after treatment was discontinued three of the four children with complete regrowth maintained their hair, one had lost all the regrowth and a further child with patchy regrowth at the end of treatment subsequently regrew hair completely while off therapy.

The DEBR rat: an animal model of human alopecia areata.

The Dundee experimental bald rat (DEBR) is reported as a model for human alopecia areata. Parallels with human alopecia areata were observed in relation to the gradual and patchy loss of hair and the penetration of both pelage and vibrissa follicles by mononuclear cells. In particular, the apparent disruption of the follicles within the precortical region of the epidermal component and consequent alterations of normal geometrical relationships between dermal and epidermal components relate directly to similar studies on human alopecia areata. In comparison with other previously described hypotrichotic rodent mutants, the DEBR rat exhibits a unique mechanism of hair loss which may provide important information regarding the pathomechanism of human alopecia areata.

The psychological characteristics and the hair problems of 58 females with androgenetic alopecia were compared with a group of women with non-apparent dermatological diseases, and with a group of men with androgenetic alopecia. The women with androgenetic alopecia had higher scores for self-sufficiency and social inadequacy compared to women with non-visible dermatological complaints, and they scored higher for inadequacy, rigidity and general psychological maladjustment than the men and had lower scores for injuredness self-evaluation and self-esteem. The women with androgenetic alopecia had more psychosocial problems, which they attributed to the hair loss, than the other groups.
