scarred alopecia

[kaya12]

Hi I got diagnosed with scarred alopecia today awaiting to see a consultant for treatment i was told i had this from results of my skin biopsies is it common , is it caused by anything ?

Hi Kaya 12, yes, this can be caused by several things and you need to ask the consultant for a clear diagnosis. I have Folliculitis Decalvans which is a scarring alopecia.

What problems are you having and what treatment are they giving you?

Good luck
