The document presents a clinical case of Brocq’s pseudopelade, a rare form of scarring alopecia that developed after childbirth. This condition is characterized by irregular patches of hair loss on the scalp, with some isolated "islands" of hair remaining, creating a "footprint in the snow" appearance. The diagnosis of pseudopelade of Brocq is made by excluding other known causes of patchy scarring alopecia, such as lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus.
