Well‐defined, slightly infiltrated, erythematosquamous plaque with focal alopecia of the eyebrow

Abstract

A 14-year-old female patient presented with rapidly occurring alopecia of the medial eyebrow. The lesion was slightly itchy. The patient reported no medical history except for an atopic disposition and incipient acne vulgaris. Clinical findingsClinical examination showed alopecia of the medial third of the eyebrow and cranially a two cm, slightly infiltrated plaque with soft pink erythema and fine lamellar scaling. Pinhead-sized cysts were located within the plaques (Figure 1 ). Two similar lesions were found caudolateral to the right eye and cranial to the right eyebrow without clinical alopecia. The rest of the integument was unremarkable. The patient also had incipient, centrofacially accentuated acne comedonica and several atopic stigmata (Hertoghe's sign, infraorbital fold, hyperlinearity of the palms and dry skin).
