Alopecia areata (AA) resulting from an autoimmune attack on the hair follicle often debuts in childhood, which is one of the predictors of an unfavorable prognosis for the disease. In the case of manifestation of symptoms before puberty, half of children develop total alopecia. Currently, the treatment of children with AA does not have a generally accepted method and does not always meet expectations. The article discusses the data on current approaches to systemic and local therapy of AA published by specialists from different countries over the past few years.
