Despite various therapeutic options, there is no cure for AA. Prostaglandin analogues have been recognized as being capable of inducing hypertrichosis. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; To compare the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost to those of corticosteroid in the treatment of scalp AA. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Thirty adult patients with patchy AA (S&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;\/sub&gt;) were included. Two AA patches were randomly assigned to treatment either by mometasone furoate 0.1% cream once daily (area A) or bimatoprost 0.03% solution twice daily (area B) for 3 months. Patients were assessed using the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) scoring system for hair re-growth. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; All responding AA patches showed significant reduction in their SALT score after therapy. Area B demonstrated significantly better results regarding rapidity of response in weeks, percentage of hair re-growth and side effects compared to area A. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Bimatoprost solution represents a therapeutic option for scalp AA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000371416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,4]],"date-time":"2015-03-04T13:16:59Z","timestamp":1425475019000},"page":"308-313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Bimatoprost versus Mometasone Furoate in the Treatment of Scalp Alopecia Areata: A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"230","author":[{"given":"Hesham","family":"Zaher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heba I.","family":"Gawdat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rehab A.","family":"Hegazy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marwa","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2009.10.031"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/70.7.628"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1529-8019.2011.01419.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004413.pub2"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2012.10955.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(14)70870-0"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1997.01100160376025"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2009.01.027"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2008.08.029"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2009.0766"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2009.03543.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2230.2009.03755.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2003.09.032"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1103442"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2003.423"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1096\/fj.12-218156"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2009.09487.x"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semcdb.2007.02.004"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2006.01237.x"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.2010.01522.x"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-7753.77511"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6257(02)00307-7"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02850299"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/OPTH.S6480"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/371416","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/371416","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:12:44Z","timestamp":1745431964000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000371416"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":24,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000371416","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
