      research Management of Definitive Alopecia in African Americans

      October 2015
      The document discussed the unique challenges in managing definitive alopecia in African Americans, highlighting the fragility of the hair shaft and inflammatory hyperreactivity of the scalp. "Hot comb" alopecia, often caused by hot oil and curling irons, was noted for causing abscesses, follicular occlusion, and scarring. Hairstyles common in the ethnic group could lead to folliculitis, traction alopecia, and keloids. Keloid folliculitis, a chronic inflammatory condition, was characterized by papules and granulomatous infiltrate, leading to scarring. Treatment focused on prevention, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medications.
