AB  - A  38-year-old  woman  was  found  to  have  hair  thinning  on  the  anterior  scalp.  She  had  long  thick  heavy  hair  that  she  always  styled  in  a  bun  on  the  top  of  her  head.  She  was  concerned  about  the  slow,  steady  loss  of  hair  that  she  was  experiencing.  Figure  188-1  shows  the  appearance  of  the  thinned  hair  as  a  result  of  chronic  traction.  A  4-mm  punch  biopsy  was  performed  to  confirm  the  clinical  impression  and  the  histology  was  supportive  of  this  diagnosis.
