Congenital Alopecia

Congenital alopecia is the loss of hair, complete and absolute. More commonly it consists of alopecia, with scanty, incompletely grown, or lanugo-like hair. It is commonly associated with other defects like dental aplasias. In a few instances, it was found in association with anomalies in the sweat glands, impaired senses of taste and smell and epidermolysis bullosa.
