Scarring Hair Loss

Scarring hair loss, or cicatricial alopecia destroys follicles. This destruction is often permanent and the locks will not regrow. Scarring hair loss can happen in men and women and can affect people of all ages. Scarring alopecia is often associated with some itching or burning, subjective pain, and erythema (redness) of the involved areas. The diagnosis of scarring hair loss requires a careful assessment with a dermatologist who extracts a sample of skin (scalp biopsy) and studies the tissue to get its causes, probably also performing blood tests to screen for autoimmune or inflammatory markers.

Possible Causes

Scarring hair loss results from inflammatory conditions that destroy follicles, these can be autoimmune, infectious, or caused by other factors including damage to the scalp or follicle.

Lichen Planopilaris: An inflammatory condition that leads to bald spots on the scalp and scarring

Discoid Lupus: the most common form of cutaneous lupus, but it won’t usually progress to full lupus. Symptoms include scaly red patches and scarring, as well as loss on the scalp

Folliculitis decalvans: A rare inflammatory condition characterized by pustules, crusting, and scarring

Traction Alopecia: This could be the result of constant tension or pulling, wearing a hairstyle that applies major tension to the root over long periods.

Treatment

The available treatment is maintenance which consists of treating the inflammation and preventing further follicle destruction. The options include;

Medications: Topical corticosteroids, oral antibiotics, and immunosuppressant drugs reduce inflammation and slow the course of the disease.

Other Surgical Options: Transplant surgery might be considered, although this depends on whether the disease has progressed and is active.

Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy can stimulate growth and reduce inflammation.

Non Scarring Hair Loss

It is often called non-cicatricial alopecia, the follicles remain intact and there is no permanent damage to the the follicles. This type of hair loss is often reversible and the locks can be restored once the reversible cause is addressed. The symptoms depend on the underlying cause but can include thinning all over, going patchy, or tresses coming out in handfuls. The scalp, unlike in scarring hair loss is found to be healthy and not inflamed or scarred. An accurate diagnosis for non-scarring alopecia requires a detailed medical history, physical examination, and, in some cases, blood tests to screen for underlying causes such as nutritional deficiencies and hormonal or illness-related disorders.

Possible Causes

Androgenetic Alopecia: It is a genetic and hormonal condition that causes this most common pattern of balding

Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune skin condition that manifests as bald patches on the scalp and other body parts

Nutritional Deficiency: iron, vitamin D and biotin are all important nutrients, and deficiency in them can lead to losing some locks

Medications: Certain drugs, including chemotherapy agents, can cause temporary hair loss.

Treatment

Drugs: Minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia) are both FDA-approved drugs for androgenetic alopecia, while corticosteroids and immunotherapy are used to treat alopecia areata

Nutritional Supplements: Addressing deficiencies through diet or supplements can improve your locks

Hair Care Products: Specialized shampoos and conditioners can help strengthen your locks and reduce shedding

Lifestyle Changes: Relieve stress, eat well, and keep harsh products out of your care routine.

Scarring vs Non-Scarring Hair Loss

Permanence

The most important distinction between scarring and non-scarring alopecias is that the scarring condition causes permanent follicle destruction, and thus non-scarring alopecias usually are reversible. Even though scarring can be reversible, you will need to be patient and understand that recovering your locks will take some time.

Underlying Conditions

Scarring hair loss is typically related to scalp conditions with an inflammatory or autoimmune basis. Non-scarring hair loss can have far more diverse underlying causes, such as genetics, stress, and nutrition.

Symptoms

With scarring hair loss, there are objective signs of inflammation (such as redness, itching, and pain), and visible scars beneath the scalp. Non-scarring hair loss, on the other hand, doesn’t manifest with these inflammatory symptoms, and it also doesn’t damage the scalp permanently.
