    Glossary Moth-Eaten Pattern

    irregular, patchy hair loss resembling moth damage on fabric

    The term "moth-eaten pattern" refers to a specific appearance of hair loss where the scalp shows irregular, patchy areas of baldness, resembling the damage caused by moths on fabric. This pattern is often seen in conditions like alopecia areata or secondary syphilis, where the hair loss is not uniform but rather scattered in small, uneven patches.
