The document presents a clinical case of pseudopelade of Brocq, a form of scarring alopecia, in a 46-year-old female patient. The diagnosis was based on clinical and trichoscopic findings, revealing hair loss with smooth, atrophic skin and absence of follicular openings. Treatment included a peripheral vasodilator, B vitamins, a topical corticosteroid lotion, and a shampoo for sensitive scalp. After 3 weeks, hair loss ceased, and no new lesions appeared, with positive clinical progress noted over the following 4 weeks. Early diagnosis and treatment are emphasized to prevent atrophy and effectively manage the condition.
