It will be interesting to hear how this drug impacts those with alopecia universalis, a sub type of alopecia areata. My sister has universalis from birth. I doubt she would want to do anything about it at this point, she is in her 40's.

My sister, also now in her 40s, got alopecia universalis when she was 17. Truly tramatic to a teenager.

The treatments at the time were mostly steroids, which did not help and caused all sorts of other problems.

This is an immunosuppressant, so I am curious at the long term implications of this. The current list of side effects is pretty scary.

Yeah, for sure. I would imagine for those that have learned to live with it, the side effects won't be worth the benefits.
