Abstract
Alopecia areata (AA) frequently occursin association with other autoimmune diseases such as thyroid disorders, anemias and other skin disorders.It is thought that some possible triggers like viruses, infection, medicines, sunlight, or other environmental factors prompt the immune system to attack the body's own tissues. It may be that the same environmental trigger activates more than one form of autoimmune disease.We report a case of alopecia areata with lichen scleroses et atrophicus a rare association among the autoimmune diseases
