Tick Bite Alopecia in an Adult Female Patient.
Ticks are well-known vectors for transmitting disease and cause a variety of cutaneous manifestations to their afflicted host. Tick bite alopecia serves as a lesser-known illustration of this phenomenon, as few cases are documented in the literature. Scarring and nonscarring forms of tick-induced alopecia are described, with the latter being more common. This case highlights an adult female patient who developed a localized oval zone of midparietal scalp hair loss two months after the detection and removal of several ticks on her scalp. The chronicled events, clinical findings, and histopathology results further confirm a particular pattern of manifestation for tick bite alopecia. This case illustrates the importance of recognizing and considering tick bites as a possible cause of focal hair loss, given a similar presentation and historical account.
