BACKGROUND: @entity1 scalp skin is normally protected from sunlight and ultraviolet radiation by the presence of hair. When hair loss occurs, for example, in @entity1665 , this protective factor declines. OBJECTIVE: We report a series of 10 type IV and V skin @entity1 with a male predominance (60-85 years). All @entity1 suffered from @entity1665 starting from the age of around 40 to 45 years. They all noticed asymptomatic, well-defined, depigmented macules, which were seen only in areas that have been afflicted by @entity1665 . The depigmented macules remain within the confines of the hair margin. There has been no depigmented lesion elsewhere on the body. The @entity1 did not report any association with any drug that they may have started taking. There is no history of @entity1694 in these @entity1 or their families. Biopsy samples taken from three of the @entity1 showed @entity2652 . CONCLUSIONS: The entity of ultraviolet-induced scalp @entity6506 and @entity1665 has not been acknowledged in dermatology textbooks but needs consideration for its importance in differential diagnoses. The term senescent actinic depigmentation of the scalp is suggested.
