Linear alopecia areata

Alopecia areata (AA) is a common, immune-mediated, nonscarring hair loss disorder. It typically presents with sharply demarcated round patches of hair loss and can be found in any age. Severe hair loss forms include alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis. AA may significantly affect a patient's quality of life.1 Here, we report a case of AA presenting a linear form of alopecia.
