Scarring Alopecia or cicatricial alopecia is a common hair disorder. If the scarring alopecia affects you then it ruins the hair follicle and it replaces the hair follicle with scar tissues. If scarring alopecia affects you then you have to lose bunch of hairs. Scarring alopecia can cause damage and permanent hair loss. Some treatments are available for the scarring alopecia.

If your hair follicle is destroyed then hair will never re-grow. But, you can take steps for treating the inflammation in the surrounding hair follicles before they actually get destructed. So, it’s important to start proper medications without any delay; this is the only way to stop the inflammatory process. It’s better to apply Minoxidil solution twice a day to the patient’s scalp to stimulate the remaining unscarred follicles.

The development of the hair loss process is unpredictable. Sometimes it is slow, where you can easily cover up the affected areas of the scalp with the help of remaining hair. In some patients the hair loss process is fast and extensive. With the help of treatments you can stop the itching, pain and burning sensations but, there will be no hair re-growth on the affected area. There has been no more hair loss for few years if the scarring alopecia has reached out the burnt-out stage.  You can remove the bald areas with the help of surgeries.
