Abstract:
Each eyelid contains two to three rows of lashes with a total of 100 to 150 lashes. The eyelashes form a first strong link in the protective chain of the eyelids, The partial loss of eyelashes is namely encountered by dermatologists. We describe a 31-year-old man with partial alopecia on the left upper eyelid due to chronic rubbing. We would like to call it "friction alopecia".
