    GlossaryAlopecia Mucinosa (Mucinosis Follicularis)

    rare skin condition causing hair loss and mucin buildup in follicles

    Alopecia Mucinosa, also known as Follicular Mucinosis, is a rare skin condition characterized by the accumulation of mucin—a jelly-like substance—in hair follicles and sebaceous glands. This leads to hair loss and the formation of erythematous (red) plaques or papules, often on the scalp, face, and neck. The condition can be associated with both benign and malignant disorders, making accurate diagnosis and management crucial.
