scarring hair loss starting at the scalp's crown, common in African American women

Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) is a type of scarring hair loss that typically starts at the crown of the scalp and spreads outward in a circular pattern.

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
Ever wonder why your hair doesn’t grow back thick anymore? Maybe your scalp needs better blood flow: centella could help. There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.
