    TLDR Alopecia areata can look like male or female pattern hair loss, needing a new subtype for better diagnosis and treatment.
    The document discusses alopecia areata and its variant, sisaipho, which can mimic male and female pattern hair loss, suggesting a possible androgenic influence. It presents 3 adult cases showing this pattern. The authors propose the term "alopecia areata in a male or female pattern distribution" as a new clinical subtype to enhance diagnosis and treatment precision.
