    TLDR Tick bites can cause localized hair loss.
    Tick bite alopecia is a rare condition with few documented cases, characterized by hair loss following a tick bite. This case study focuses on an adult female who experienced a localized oval zone of hair loss on her midparietal scalp two months after removing several ticks. The findings emphasize the need to consider tick bites as a potential cause of focal hair loss, supported by clinical and histopathological evidence.
