Alopecia mucinosa, also called follicular mucinosis, is a rare inflammatory disease affecting the pilosebaceous units in the skin. It presents clinically as follicular papules with or without erythematous scaly plaques and evident hair loss in the absence of other conditions causing alopecia. Histologically, it presents as a deposition of mucopolysaccharides (mucin) within the outer root sheath and sebaceous glands. We present here a case of alopecia mucinosa in a 26-year-old male.
