Alopecia areata involving the hairs of ears and nostrils was never reported in the international literature. We present a case of alopecia areata in these areas in an adult patient. Final diagnosis was based on some factors: a) both the patient’s mother and sister were affected by alopecia areata on the scalp; b) the disappearance of hair on the ears and nostrils some weeks following COVID-19 recovery; c) the disappearance of hair of the lateral portion of the right eyebrow, confirmed by trichoscopy.

Abstract
Alopecia areata involving the hairs of ears and nostrils was never reported in the international literature. We present a case of alopecia areata in these areas in an adult patient. Final diagnosis was based on some factors: a) both the patient’s mother and sister were affected by alopecia areata on the scalp; b) the disappearance of hair on the ears and nostrils some weeks following COVID-19 recovery; c) the disappearance of hair of the lateral portion of the right eyebrow, confirmed by trichoscopy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
