Abstract
SummaryPediatric androgenetic alopecia is an underrecognized disorder. A clinical evaluation with trichoscopy should be made in children and adolescents with hair loss and/or reduced hair density. Diagnosis is usually clinical, by observation of the hair loss pattern and performance of trichoscopy. In some cases, hyperandrogenism should be excluded. Although there is no approved therapy for androgenetic alopecia in pediatric age, topical minoxidil, oral minoxidil and topical finasteride may be very useful. Hair transplant may be an option for girls in selected cases. This article is a review of the current state of evidence concerning pediatric androgenetic alopecia.
