Griggs J, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to review the existing literature concerning androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in the pediatric/adolescent population. In order to identify all articles discussing AGA in a pediatric/adolescent population published up to December 2018, PubMed explorations were performed. Seven articles discussing AGA in patients aged younger than 18 were identified. AGA is not uncommon in the pediatric population, but its prevalence and incidence are unknown. It is associated with a strong AGA family history, and can usually be clinically diagnosed by physical examination and trichoscopy. Topical minoxidil has been used with success, although not approved. In children, other modalities of treatment are poorly studied.
