Abstract:
A localized area of alopecia of the scalp can be a challenge in diagnosis. We report two patients with alopecia which was found to be associated with underlying congenital melanocytic nevus. Congenital melanocytic nevus should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of alopecic plaques of the scalp.
