Sir

A new-born, male gender, born at term, APGAR 10, was addressed to us for occipital alopecia observed since birth. Mother was a young health person of 25 years old, primipara and the birth was non-Caesarian delivery. Alopecia was confirmed in the occipital area, with no signs of inflammation or other dermatological problems on the whole body. A diagnosis of frictional/pressure occipital alopecia was admitted and the family was reassured of the absence of any inquiry. No follow-up was recommended.
