Aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp: is there a better treatment strategy?

Background: Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare disease of unknown etiology, involving any site of the body. The scalp is the most frequent location, followed by the forearms, knees, both sides of the trunk, and neck, in decreasing order of frequency. Superficial lesions may heal spontaneously and seldom result in morbidity or mortality.
