The medical condition pseudopelade of Brocq is a flesh- to pink-colored, irregularly shaped alopecia that may begin in a moth-eaten pattern with eventual coalescence into larger patches of alopecia.
There are sporadic yet distinct alopecia confluent areas that resemble snow footprints.
It typically manifests as an atrophic plaque that is porcelain white, hypopigmented, and somewhat depressed.
Instead of the typical round or oval patches associated with alopecia areata, lesions are frequently uneven in shape.
A number of potential contributing variables include senescence of the follicular stem cell reserve, acquired autoimmunity, and Borrelia infection.
