TLDR Alopecia mucinosa is a challenging condition with unclear diagnosis and treatment.
The document discusses a collection of cases of alopecia mucinosa over seven years, aiming to stimulate discussion and further understanding of the disease's nature and histological changes. The first case involved a 29-year-old man with a red, scaly plaque above his eyebrow, leading to hair loss. Despite treatment with sulfur and salicylic acid ointment, there was no improvement, and the lesion's biopsy revealed unusual histological changes, but no definitive diagnosis was made.
