Brief Summary   40 patients of clinically diagnosed  Alopecia Areata of the scalp less than or equal to 5 patches and less than or equal to 25 % scalp involvement and who have not taken any treatment for hair loss in the past 3 months and are willing to consent for enrollment in the study will be randomly divided into 2 groups of 20 each using a computer generated randomization chart.

Group -1 (COMBINATION OF MICRONEEDLING WITH TOPICAL AUTOLOGOUS PLATELET RICH PLASMA GROUP): Patients in this group will be treated by microneedling technique using dermaroller in combination with topical autologous platelet rich plasma at every 4 weeks interval for a total period of 16 weeks.

Group- 2 (INTRALESIONAL TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE GROUP): Patients in this group will be treated with intralesional Injection of Triamcinolone acetonide 10 mg/ml at every 4 weeks interval for a period of 16 weeks.

Results of both the treatments of group 1 and group 2 will be compared at the end of therapy on the basis of reduction in the mean SALT scores from the baseline and Visual Analogue Scale.
