Scarring Hair Loss
The Causes of Scarring Hair Loss:
The follicles may be absent as a result of a developmental defect, or they may be irretrievably injured by trauma, as with burns or continuous over-processing and pulling of the hair. They may also be destroyed by a specific and identifiable infection or by the encroachment of a benign or malignant tumor.
Scarring Hair Loss Treatment:
Treatment for scarring hair loss is limited, as the condition is often permanent. However, systemic or topical corticosteroids are often used to reduce the inflammation and slow the progress of the disease.
