Successful treatment of three cases of pediatric alopecia areata using a combination of corticosteroids, minoxidil, immunomodulator and light-emitting diode therapy.

We treated the patients with a combination of topical and intralesional injections of corticosteroids, topical minoxidil 5%, inosine pranobex, valacyclovir, and light-emitting diode therapy with excellent results.
