Scarring Alopecia in a Black Patient

The document presented a case study of scarring alopecia in a black patient, specifically focusing on central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA). It discussed the potential link between hair care practices, such as the use of chemical relaxers, and the development of scarring alopecia. The study referenced previous research, including reports of acute relaxer-associated scarring alopecia and investigations into the hair follicle's inner root sheath in both scarring and non-scarring alopecia. The findings underscored the importance of understanding hair care practices and their impact on hair health, particularly in black women.
