TLDR Temporal triangular alopecia may be linked to sebaceous nevus and shows a new pinkish background feature.
The article discussed temporal triangular alopecia (TTA), a permanent, non-scarring type of alopecia typically found in the frontotemporal region, which could occur on one or both sides of the head. While various associations with TTA had been documented, its connection with sebaceous nevus had not been previously reported. The study aimed to highlight a potential link between TTA and sebaceous nevus and introduced a pinkish background as a new trichoscopic finding of TTA, alongside previously known trichoscopic features.
