Immunoreactivity of corticotropin-releasing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in alopecia areata.

abstract：:The therapeutic hypothesis proposed by Speeckaert and van Geel in this issue (1) is based on the dramatic effects of the new drugs targeting immune privilege checkpoints (PD1/PDL, CTLA4) in current advanced melanoma therapy as major inductors of vitiligo changes in the skin. Such striking clinical manifestations canno...
