ABSTRACT

Pseudopelade of Brocq (PoB) is an unusual form of permanent hair loss from the scalp, the cause of which is unknown. This is a specific diagnosis reached after excluding known causes of patchy scarring alopecia (pseudopelade) such as lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus. We present a case of PoB in a 45-year-old female.
