    TLDR Hair loss can occur when pemphigus foliaceus changes to pemphigus vulgaris.
    The letter to the editor described a case where alopecia developed in a patient transitioning from pemphigus foliaceus to pemphigus vulgaris. This case highlighted the potential for hair loss as a complication during the progression between these two forms of pemphigus, which are autoimmune blistering disorders. The authors emphasized the importance of recognizing this transition to provide appropriate treatment and management for affected patients.
