What is Scarring Alopecia?

Scarring alopecia, or in other words, cicatricial alopecia, is a dermatological concern featuring scalp skin inflammation, scarring, and irreversible hair loss. It is one of the kinds of hair loss that leads to the destruction of hair follicles on any hair body site, majorly the scalp. If not timely intervened, it can result in fibrosis and permanent hair loss.

How can Scarring Alopecia be Recognized?

Scarring alopecia usually shows up as one or several bald spots/patches in areas where hair should be present naturally. The skin of the affected areas appears smooth and shiny
Scarring alopecia can present in different ways among affected individuals. It may gradually develop over years with very few noticeable symptoms or rapidly over months with many symptoms
For some, the condition is associated with redness, blisters, burning sensation, flaky/itchy skin, pain, skin crusting, rough and scaly skin, and/or pus discharge.

You can learn more on this condition by consulting the alopecia doctors in Delhi at DMC Trichology.

What are the Causes and Types of Scarring Alopecia?

Based on the cause, scarring alopecia is of two kinds:

Primary scarring alopecia- It is the result of an inflammatory or autoimmune disorder where immune cells like lymphocytes and natural killer cells attack and destroy hair follicle ste-m cells and oil glands and cause impairment in the self-maintenance of hair follicle ste-m cells. The destruction leads to the growth of scar tissues so hair is not able to regenerate.

Secondary scarring alopecia- It is the side effect of a trauma or damage to the skin by a burn, radiation, infection, folliculitis, lichen planus, or tumor.

How to get scarring alopecia treated? The Best Hair Doctor-recommended Treatments

The scarring alopecia treatment in Delhi depends on the kind of scarring alopecia the patient is suffering from. For most kinds of scarring alopecia, our first and foremost approach is to provide topical and/or oral anti-inflammatory drugs. For scarring alopecia resulting from infections, we provide antibiotics. These medication courses may last for 6-12 months until there is improvement in symptoms or stopped/delayed hair loss.

Primary scarring alopecia caused by lymphocytes is mainly treated with corticosteroids, retinoids, and broad-spectrum sunscreens. For scarring alopecia caused by neutrophils, the treatment options we recommend include topicals containing clind-amycin or benzoyl peroxide; oral re-tinoids; oral antibiotics; and antiseptic shampoos..
For stabilized scarring alopecia with controlled inflammation for the past year, we recommend scalp reduction surgery which may be complemented by hair transplantation.
