CALADO, Rebeca  and  SOARES, Rui Oliveira. Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide for alopecia areata: does dilution matter?. Port J Dermatol Venereol. [online]. 2022, vol.80, n.3, pp.193-198.  Epub Oct 24, 2022. ISSN 2795-501X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/pjdv.m22000043.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic, remitting, non-scarring form of alopecia, which can be associated with significant emotional distress. Intralesional corticosteroids, particularly triamcinolone acetonide, remain first-line therapy in adults with limited, patchy alopecia areata. However, the optimal concentration of intralesional corticosteroids has not yet been fully elucidated. In this manuscript, we examine current evidence about this matter to guide clinical decision-making.

Keywords : Triamcinolone acetonide; Concentration; Dilution; Alopecia areata; Hair regrowth.
