Scarring alopecia
Scarring alopecia isn’t just one issue – it’s a bunch of problems that can harm hair follicles, replacing them with scar tissue and causing permanent hair loss. It’s also called cicatricial alopecia and can happen to anyone, no matter their age.
What Causes It:
The exact causes of different types of scarring alopecia aren’t clear, but inflammation in the upper part of the hair follicle where stem cells and oil glands are located seems to be a likely culprit.
Signs to Look Out For:
Common signs include:
– Itching: Your scalp might feel itchy.
– Pain: Some people experience pain.
– Burning: Burning sensations are common.
Who’s at Risk:
Scarring alopecia can affect anyone, anytime, and at any age. Around 3 percent of people with hair loss have this problem. It impacts both men and women, usually adults in their middle years.
Prevention Tips:
Since inflammation seems to be a big factor, preventing things that cause inflammation near your scalp is key. Protect your hair from the sun, keep it clean, and avoid dandruff. Be careful with hair oils, making sure to know what’s in them before using.
