    Temporal Triangular Alopecia (TTA), also known as Alopecia Triangularis, is a non-scarring form of hair loss that typically presents as a triangular or oval-shaped bald patch in the temporal region of the scalp. It usually appears in early childhood and remains stable throughout life, with the affected area showing no signs of inflammation or other skin abnormalities.
