Options available for CCCA

What options are available other than minoxidil for CCCA which can be used at home?
Many thanks, A

Re: Options available for CCCA

Dear A,

Thank you for your question. I would start from dermovate scalp application and if necessary try tacrolimus ointment next. Orall medications can also be helpful (e.g. hydroxychloroquine, roacutane, ciclosporin and so on).

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
