Background: Alopecia is a common condition accounting for the top ten morbidities seen in patients that present at dermatology outpatient clinics in Nigeria.Aim: This retrospective study aimed at documenting the prevalence and types of alopecia in the skin clinic at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital between December 2014 and December 2019. Methods: The medical records of all patients with alopecia attending dermatological outpatient clinic between December 2014 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively for this descriptive observational study. An approval for the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin-city, Nigeria. The diagnosis of Hair loss was essentially clinical, confirmed where expedient with a skin biopsy. Dermatological tools like Dermoscopes were also used to boost diagnostic accuracy when necessary. The patients were also evaluated for presence of other cutaneous and systemic disorders. Results: During the 5year study period, 106 patients with hair loss (6.6%%) were observed. The youngest patient was 2months old and the oldest patient was 90years old. The males constituted 61.3% of patients observed while the females accounted for 38.7% of patients seen. The male to female ratio was 1.6:1. Discoid lupus erythematosus of the scalp, was the most common disorder 29(29.4%). Alopecia areata occurred in23(27.7%); tinea capitis in 15(14,2%); Acne keloidalis nuchae in 14(13.2%); seborrheic dermatitis10(9.4%); and folliculiltis delcavans 9(8.5%). Less commonly observed causes of alopecia included androgenetic alopecia 2(1.9%); traction alopecia 2(1.9%); lichenplanopilaris 1(0.9%) and nevus sebaceum 1(0.9%). Conclusion: There is a need for studies to further describe and proffer solutions to common causes of alopecia in our community.

Les données ont été obtenues à partir des dossiers cliniques et des notes cliniques des patients.Résultats de l'étude: Au cours de la période d'étude de 5 ans, 106 patients sur 1 600 personnes fréquentant la clinique de la peau ont eu une perte de cheveux constituant une prévalence de 6,6%. Les patients vus étaient âgés de 2 mois à 90 ans. Plus d'hommes (61,3%) que de femmes (38,7%) ont été vus; avec un rapport de 1,6: 1. Le lupus érythémateux discoïde du cuir chevelu était le trouble le plus courant «insérer un nombre absolu» (29,4%). L'alopécie areata est survenue en «insérer le nombre absolu» 27,7%; tineacapitis en «insérer le nombre absolu» 14,2%; Acné  keloidalisnuchae en «insérer le nombre absolu» 13,2%; dermatite séborrhéique «insérer le nombre absolu» 9,4%; et folliculiltisdelcavans «insérer le nombre absolu» 8,5%. Les causes d'alopécie moins fréquemment observées comprenaient l'androgénétopécie (1,9%); alopécie de traction (1,9%); lichenplanopilaris (0,9%) et naevus sébacé (0,9%)Conclusion: Des études sont nécessaires pour décrire et proposer des solutions aux causes courantes d'alopécie dans notre communauté.

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease leading to scarring and hair loss. Linear Discoid lupus erythematosus has been mentioned in the literature as a rare variant. This article describes isolated linear DLE of the scalp. We present a 26-year-old Saudi male who had unilateral linear DLE of the scalp with no involvement of other body sites and no systemic manifestations. This case is the first case of isolated linear DLE on the scalp. This presentation should be considered as a differential diagnosis of linear scarring alopecia as a distinct morphological pattern of DLE.

Abstract Background Linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE) is an unusual form of LE-specific cutaneous condition, occurring in children and young adults. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis of linear cutaneous LE can be difficult and facial lesions can resemble linear morphea or en coup de sabre. Differential diagnosis of similar conditions along the lines of Blaschko must be differentiated from linear LE. Case presentation We report a case of linear discoid LE on the forehead of an adult female Thai patient mimicking en coup de sabre. The dermatoscopy, histopathology and direct immunofluorescence findings were consistent with chronic cutaneous LE. Conclusions As this patient demonstrated classic dermatoscopic features of LE, we emphasized that the diagnosis of linear cutaneous LE can be made by dermatoscopy. This is particularly beneficial for young self-conscious patients with facial lesions that are reluctant to perform skin biopsy.
