- Scarring
alopecia - what is scarring alopecia.
A general overview of scarring alopecias, also called cicatricial
alopecias, and what they are.
- Scarring
alopecia - classification of scarring
alopecias. Primary scarring alopecias can be classified into
different groupings depending on the nature of what they look
like in the clinic and when studying a skin biopsy.
- Scarring
alopecia - clinical approach
to diagnosing scarring alopecias.
What the doctor does to diagnose a scarring alopecia in an
individual.
- Scarring
alopecia - chronic cutaneous
lupus erythematosus. Also
called discoid lupus erythematosus, the exact cause and pattern
of development of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus
are yet to be uncovered; a complex interaction
of genetic, environmental and
a host of other factors give rise to expression of this disease.
- Scarring
alopecia - lichen planopilaris.
Lichen planopilaris is considered a hair follicle
focused variant of lichen planus, an inflammatory skin disease
that can occur anywhere on the body.
- Scarring
alopecia - frontal fibrosing alopecia. Frontal fibrosing
alopecia is a variant of lichen planopilaris that occurs mostly
in postmenopausal women.
It
is characterized
by
a distinctive recession of the frontal hairline.
- Scarring
alopecia - fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.
A somewhat controversial diagnosis, fibrosing alopecia in
a
pattern distribution is a relatively rare form of scarring
alopecia. It is not yet clear if it is a unique scarring aloepcia
or a variantion of frontal fibrosing alopecia or some other
form of cicatricial alopecia.
- Scarring
alopecia - Graham Little syndrome. Graham Little
syndrome (Graham Little Piccardi Lassueur syndrome) is a particular
form of lichen planopilaris that affects adults. It manifests
itself as patchy cicatricial alopecia of the scalp and
non-scarring alopecia of the under arm and pubic
areas along with spinous follicular nodules.
- Scarring
alopecia - lupus erythematosus lichen planus overlap syndrome. Lupus
erythematosus lichen planus overlap syndrome is a rare hybrid
form of scarring alopecia.
- Scarring
alopecia - pseudopelade of Brocq. Pseudopelade of Brocq
is a chronic form of primary cicatricial alopecia, which is
more common in adult males than females.
- Scarring
alopecia - central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia. Central
centrifugal cicatricial alopecia is a condition that presents
as an overtly
non inflammatory cicatricial alopecia of the central scalp
which enlarges centrifugally as the disease progresses.
- Scarring
alopecia - alopecia mucinosa. The deposition of mucin
around damaged hair follicles is a diagnostic indication
of alopecia mucinosa.
- Scarring
alopecia - keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans.
Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) is a rare
X chromosome-linked disorder affecting the skin and the
eyes. The skin hardens and damages the hair follicles.
- Scarring
alopecia - folliculitis decalvans. This is a commonly
found primary scarring alopecia. The condition
is typified by a destructive, inflammation of the hair follicle
with the presence of pus.
- Scarring
alopecia - dissecting cellulitis / folliculitis. Dissecting
cellulitis (also called perifolliculitis capitis abscedens
et suffodiens)
manifests
with perifollicular
pustules, nodules,
abscesses and sinuses that evolve into scarring alopecia. As the
condition worsens, there is progressive hair loss on the scalp.
- Scarring
alopecia - acne keloidalis. Acne keloidalis
(also called folliculitis
keloidalis) presents as firm follicular
papules (a small circumscribed, superficial, solid elevation)
that are concentrated in the lower
back part of the head and skull. In the initial stages
of the disease, hairs protrude from the papules. As the disease
progresses, the papules join together into hairless keloid -like
plaques.
- Scarring
alopecia - acne necrotica. Acne necrotica (also called
folliculitis necrotica) is a chronic
relapsing hair disorder commonly involving the anterior (front)
hairline in adults.
Usually, 5 to 20 nectrotic
pustules in the hairline are the signs of early disease, and manifestations
of late stage disease are irregular scars that look like those of
small pox.
- Scarring
alopecia - erosive pustular dermatosis. Erosive pustular
dermatosis is an idiopathic, chronic relapsing, amicrobial,
pustular scarring alopecia.
- Scarring
alopecia - secondary scarring alopecias. Primary
scarring alopecias diseases focused on the hair follicles.
Secondary scarring aloepcias
are conditions in which the disease casues problems beyond the
hair follicles, but also involve damage and destruction of the
hair follicles. This page gives an overview of secondary scarring
alopecias.
- Secondary
scarring alopecias - infections and inflammatory dermatoses. Secondary
scarring alopecia can develop as a result of infections and
inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis.
- Secondary
scarring alopecias - pattern hair loss, senescent alopecia,
or bullous disorders.
Secondary scarring alopecia can develop as a result of
pattern hair loss, senescent alopecia, or bullous disorders.
- Secondary
scarring alopecias - chemical causes, radiation, drugs, or
autoimmune disorders.
Secondary scarring alopecia can develop as a result of chemical
causes, radiation, drugs, or autoimmune disorders.
- Secondary
scarring alopecias - neoplastic disorders or granulomatous
reactions. Secondary scarring alopecia can
develop as a result of neoplastic disorders or granulomatous
reactions.
- Secondary
scarring alopecias - developmental and hereditary disorders.
Secondary scarring alopecia can develop as a result of developmental
and hereditary disorders.
