| + | Most ‘alopecic’ cases are the result of '''self-trauma''' or '''nutritional neglect'''. |
| + | [[Parasitic Skin Infections - Donkey|Parasitic infestation]] and [[Fungal Skin Infections - Donkey|fungal skin infections]] are also a common cause of alopecia that can be localised or extensive. Both fungal and parasitic disease |
| + | often have [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|'''prominent scaling''']]. Alopecia can arise also from '''irritant contact''' |
| + | including iatrogenic applications of inappropriate chemicals or from wound |
| + | exudate. There is invariably some component of scaling and/or crusting |
| + | in these cases. Localised ‘hair breakage’, as a result of rubbing (either tack |
| + | or self-trauma), is not classified as true alopecia. |
