    TLDR The document concludes that scalp conditions have various causes and can present in many different ways.
    The document from the British Hair and Nail Society details various cases of hair and scalp conditions. It includes a case of herpes folliculitis on the scalp diagnosed through the presentation of VZV infection, and a case series involving three male patients aged 27, 35, and 65 who developed Folliculitis decalvans years after scalp injuries, suggesting trauma may trigger this condition. An 81-year-old woman's hair color unexpectedly reverted to red after surgery for basal cell carcinoma, a change typically not seen outside of melanoma cases. Additionally, a 41-year-old nurse with seasonal alopecia areata experienced annual hair loss that progressed to alopecia totalis, with regrowth in the spring, possibly related to seasonal rhinitis and environmental factors. These cases underscore the diverse etiologies and presentations of scalp disorders.
