title: Persistent depigmented regrowth after alopecia areata.
abstract: We report a case of persistent depigmented hair regrowth from the site of a patch of alopecia areata. It is well known that hair may regrow unpigmented from a site of alopecia areata; however, it was previously thought that this was temporary, lasting no longer than the first hair cycle.
