Overview
Ulerythema, also known as Ulerythema Ophryogenes is a rare[1] congenital disease characterised by the loss of the eyebrow hairs.[2] This may be followed by scaring, atrophy and alopecia.[3] The disease is also known to extends to the adjacent skin, scalp, and cheeks of the initial area characterized with the disease. Children and young males are predominantly involved.[2][3] Many cases occur sporadically and are presumed to be the result of an inborn defect. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has also been suggested.[2] It has been suggested that individuals with the disease should avoid sun exposure without UV protection.[3] The disease is classified as a type of genodermatosis.[1]
