Scarring Alopecia

Address Permanent Hair Loss with Targeted Scalp Treatments

Understanding Scarring Alopecia

Scarring alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia, refers to a group of rare disorders that destroy hair follicles and replace them with scar tissue. This leads to permanent hair loss. It can affect any gender and may present with redness, scaling, pain, or itching on the scalp.

Treatment Options

Oral & Topical Steroids – Anti-inflammatory medications reduce ongoing follicle destruction.

Systemic Medications – Drugs like hydroxychloroquine or isotretinoin used in lichen planopilaris.

Supportive Treatments – Laser therapy or microneedling can help improve scalp texture.

Surgical Solutions – Hair transplant may be an option once the disease is inactive.
