Road Map for Diagnosis -Treatment of alopecia areata: An Australian expert consensus statement

The purpose of this roadmap is for the diagnosis and treatment of Alopecia Areata and represents a major step in the treatment of Alopecia Areata. Currently, there is no standard treatment pathway for people with Alopecia Areata. This Road Map will provide an important resource for dermatologists around Australia, and aims to improve the care and outcomes for those with Alopecia Areata. 

This consensus statement outlines a treatment algorithm for AA, including the indications for systemic treatment, appropriate choice of systemic treatment,  the satisfactory outcome measures and when to discontinue successful or unsuccessful treatment. 

AAAF would like to thank all of those involved in dedicating their time and expertise for this important outcome.
