Abstract
- Tofacitinib has revolutionized the treatment of numerous dermatological conditions in different age groups. However, evidence for its effectiveness, safety and tolerability in the paediatric population is limited. We performed a literature search, which showed that oral tofacitinib is a reliable option in refractory juvenile dermatomyositis, severe alopecia areata, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Topical tofacitinib is an effective option in vitiligo and halo naevus. The risk–benefit ratio should be assessed prior to consideration of this molecule. In this narrative review, we have attempted to present a summary of the evidence of using tofacitinib (oral and topical) in paediatric dermatoses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
