Topical Garlic Concentrate for Alopecia Areata in Children

Summary

Management of pediatric alopecia is particularly challenging given the chronicity of the condition, limited therapeutic response and devastating psychological effects. There is a paucity of safe and effective therapies in this population. The investigators propose to conduct and open label, prospective cohort pilot study using topical garlic concentrate ( GarlicRich) for treatment of children with alopecia areata. Study medication will be applied topically on affected area of the skin daily for 6 months. Follow up visits will occur monthly to access the efficacy and safety of the proposed treatment .
