Congenital Triangular Alopecia

In a correspondence regarding congenital triangular alopecia, Dr. Howard Bargman responded to Dr. Antonella Tosti's article, emphasizing that the condition is more common than previously thought. Bargman pointed out that after his 1984 publication on the subject, he received letters from physicians recognizing the condition in themselves or relatives, which had been missed before his article. He also corrected Tosti's claim that no more than three cases had been reported in a single publication, as Bargman had reported four. Furthermore, Bargman challenged Tosti's statement on "unnecessary treatments," arguing that hair grafting had shown positive results in one case, suggesting that treatments can be beneficial for patients concerned about their appearance. Tosti replied, expressing regret for omitting Bargman's publication and maintaining her position that due to the minor aesthetic impact of congenital triangular alopecia, treatment is generally not required.
