Alopecia, under treatment
From DrKoop's partner site on erectile dysfunction, ErectileDysfunctionConnection.com
This picture shows alopecia areata, under treatment. The hair loss is being treated with anthralin, which causes the brownish hyperpigmentation and can induce hair regrowth. It is very unlikely regrowth will occur when hair is lost along the scalp margin (ophiasis).
