    TLDR Zouboulis syndrome is a rare condition that helps diagnose monosomy 18p early.
    The document reviewed five cases reported over 20 years that exhibited a combination of keratosis pilaris, ulerythema ophryogenes, and monosomy 18p, suggesting the existence of a new rare syndrome, termed Zouboulis syndrome. This syndrome, characterized by hereditary disorders of hair follicle keratinization and a chromosomal deletion, could aid in the early diagnosis of monosomy 18p.

      A user noticed non-itchy, non-bleeding spots on their scalp while experiencing hair loss. Replies suggest the spots are likely sunspots or liver spots and recommend seeing a dermatologist; hair loss is attributed to male pattern baldness.
