Scarring Alopecia

This is a rare type of hair loss, which is due to inflammation around the hair follicle. Those who have scarring alopecia often have areas with white scales surrounding an area of inflammation, which then leads to scarring in that area. The hair follicles are actually destroyed and disappear.

Rising Cases and Possible Causes

Over the years we have noticed an increase in the number of patients with Scarring Alopecia. While part of the reason for this is that the medical community is becoming better at identifying, we also do believe that the incidence of Scarring Alopecia is increasing. There is some evidence that certain harsh hair care practices may contribute to some forms of Scarring Alopecia, such as the use of chemical relaxers from a very young age.

Who Is Most Affected?

This type of hair loss is much more common in women than men, with some studies reporting as high as a 4:1 ratio of women to men. There is some evidence to suggest an autoimmune cause, and there may be a genetic component as well, but more research definitely needs to be done.

Types of Scarring Alopecia We Treat

There are several types of Scarring Alopecia, with the most common being Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA), Lichen PlanoPilaris (LPP), and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA). As Scarring Alopecia can be permanent, Medi Tresse aims to work with any patient that we believe may have Scarring Alopecia to quickly confirm the diagnosis and aggressively start treatment.
