Abstract：Alopecia is a common skin disorder with various classifications,such as androgenetic alopecia,alopecia areata and telogen effluvium.Each type presents its unique clinical manifestation,typically characterized by abnormal hair loss or excessive shedding,leading to hair thinning or complete scalp exposure.Currently,treatment options for alopecia are relatively limited,with topical minoxidil widely used in clinical practice for various types of hair loss.Recent studies have also highlighted the potential value of low-dose oral minoxidil in treating alopecia.This review summarizes the mechanisms of minoxidil in treating alopecia,as well as the efficacy,safety,and relevant factors of topical or oral minoxidil.
