feathers
Clinical description:
Feathers are normally distributed along tracks on the body, known as pterylae, seen here. These tracks are interspersed with featherless areas called apteria. Patches of feather loss may be due to normal physiologic processes, such as seasonal molting. Pathologic feather loss can result from trauma and infection and is associated with skin lesions.
