Centrifugal Lipodystrophy Presenting With Serpiginous Erythema and Alopecia

We describe serpiginous erythema with alopecia developing on the scalp of a 10-year-old boy during follow-up of centrifugal lipodystrophy. Because the clinical and histopathologic features of these lesions were identical to those of centrifugal lipodystrophy, we conclude that involvement of a hairy region by this disorder could cause alopecia and that the hair loss might be an indirect effect of interstitial inflammatory infiltrates around the hair follicles and in the subcutaneous fat.
