Alopecia cicatrisata

This condition manifests in young adults, and its precise cause remains unidentified. The skin in affected areas becomes atrophic, leading to hair loss and the formation of white, sunken patches resembling “footprints in the snow.” Importantly, there are no broken hairs in these areas. Nails may also undergo wasting. Scalp treatments prove ineffective, although gold injections have been attempted as a form of treatment. This condition is also known as pseudo-pelade of Brocq.
