Scalp Scarring Alopecia

Description

Scalp scarring alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia, is a type of permanent hair loss caused by scarring or damage to the scalp that destroys hair follicles, making regrowth difficult or impossible. Sometimes referred to as hot comb alopecia, follicular degeneration syndrome, or pseudopelade, this condition results in bald patches or thinning that may worsen over time, often accompanied by symptoms like itching, burning, or redness on the scalp. Common causes include autoimmune reactions, infections, physical injury, or even certain hairstyles and hair treatments. Unlike non-scarring hair loss where follicles can recover, scarring alopecia replaces follicles with scar tissue, so early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further loss. If you've noticed persistent bald spots, scalp tenderness, or irritation, expert care in Korea can help assess your options, from advanced medical treatments to regenerative therapies aiming to restore scalp health and manage this challenging type of hair loss.
