    TLDR The girl has an inflammatory type of scarring hair loss.
    The document presented a case of a 7-year-old girl with scarring alopecia, characterized by progressive noninflammatory hair loss, frontal bossing, abnormal dentition, and thickened digits. Despite normal bone development and negative fungal tests, a biopsy indicated cicatricial alopecia. The discussion highlighted the presence of hair follicles and erector pili muscles, with inflammation noted, suggesting an inflammatory type of alopecia.
