Int J Trichology. 2018 Jan-Feb;10(1):34-36. doi: 10.4103/ijt.ijt_60_17.

Abstract

Alopecia areata (AA) is the most common form of nonscarring alopecia involving the scalp and/or body. The most common pattern of hair loss is oval or round, but newer morphological variants are increasingly being described. We hereby report two cases of annular pattern of AA due to its unusual morphology.

Keywords: Alopecia; annular; hair loss; scalp.
