A recent national survey has mapped the practice patterns of dermatologists treating various types of alopecia in the United States, revealing common use of intralesional corticosteroids, primarily triamcinolone, with varying techniques for scarring, nonscarring, and facial alopecia. The survey noted significant variation in concentration, injection volume, spacing, and session frequency, suggesting the need for further investigation to optimize dosing while limiting corticosteroid exposure.
