Khalil I Al-Hamdi, Anwar Qais SaadoonInternational Journal of Trichology 2019 11(6):244-246 Alopecic and aseptic nodules of the scalp (AANS) is a relatively new and little-known entity, and thus may possibly be underdiagnosed.

Here, we are reporting a case of AANS with a chronic relapsing course. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of this rare entity that ...

Diffuse alopecia areata associated with weight-loss pills
We present a case of alopecia areata possibly linked to the ingestion of amphetamines. This case may provide evidence that amphetamines can also be a cause of alopecia areata in susceptible individuals. We intend to awaken an interest in the medication history of patients presenting with sudden diffuse alopecia areata. (Source: International Journal of Trichology)
