TLDR A rare case showed alopecia areata and lichen planus occurring together in one person.
The document reported a case of a 42-year-old man who exhibited colocalization of alopecia areata and lichen planus, which are both immune-mediated cutaneous disorders. The patient presented with a single patch of nonscarring hair loss that had persisted for 4 months. Alopecia areata was diagnosed, and treatment with topical betamethasone dipropionate was administered, resulting in the lesion becoming static. This case highlighted the rare coexistence of these two common skin disorders.
