Summary
Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease that involves the hair follicles. Topical
corticosteroids are the established agents for treating this disorder. There are several case
reports and case series which have demonstrated the efficacy of topical prostaglandins. The
two agents have not been compared head-to-head in the published literature. The investigators
attempt to compare the efficacy and safety of topical betamethasone and topical latanoprost
in the treatment of localised alopecia areata.
