congenital absence of skin, often on the scalp

Aplasia Cutis Congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of skin at birth, typically manifesting as a localized area without skin, most commonly on the scalp. The affected area can vary in size and may sometimes involve underlying structures such as bone or dura. While the exact cause is often unknown, ACC can be associated with genetic factors, teratogens, or other syndromes.
