    Congenital Alopecia, also known as Congenital Hair Loss or Inherited Alopecia, is a condition where an individual is born without hair or with very sparse hair due to genetic factors.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
