    TLDR Bitemporal alopecia often occurs with other hair conditions and can help predict and monitor these issues.
    This observational cross-sectional study investigated hair diseases accompanying bitemporal alopecia in 86 patients, with a mean age of 36.2 years. The study found that bitemporal alopecia often coexists with other hair conditions, such as androgenetic alopecia (66.3%), seborrheic dermatitis (44.2%), and telogen effluvium (33.7%). The severity of bitemporal alopecia was categorized as mild (25.6%), moderate (46.5%), and severe (27.9%). The study suggests that bitemporal alopecia could be a predictive indicator for diagnosing and monitoring associated hair diseases.
