Quick Summary:

• Cicatricial Alopecia consists of a group of conditions that result in irreversible hair loss. Following the loss of hair from the scalp, there is no further hair growth in the affected part of the scalp or other hair-bearing skin. The hair follicles have been destroyed by the disease process
• In most of the conditions leading to Cicatricial Alopecia, the surface of the skin is smooth and does not show the visual changes usually associated with ‘scarring’. Hence, the condition is also known as Scarring Alopecia or Scarring Hair Loss. The term ‘cicatricial’ means ‘relating to a scar’
• The condition is generally uncommon and observed mainly in adults. The hair loss may occur in a gradual manner or rapidly. When the loss occurs slowly over time, no other symptoms are noted; but, when the loss is rapid, it may be accompanied by itching, burning, or pain 
• Cicatricial Alopecia can cause severe emotional stress due to bald patches or extensive areas on one’s scalp. Also, reactivation of the underlying condition is known to take place after suitable treatment
• The treatment for Cicatricial Alopecia includes medications to control hair loss and surgery, if necessary. The prognosis of the condition is based on the severity of Cicatricial Alopecia and may vary from one individual to another
