This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-descent females, discussing possible causes, associated styling habits, and potential treatments, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors call for further research.

This article discusses the complexities of treating hair and scalp disorders in African American patients, emphasizing the importance of understanding their specific hair care practices and the unique impact on quality of life, but reports no new empirical findings.

This study observed that systemic lupus erythematosus may not be as uncommon among African Blacks as previously reported, highlighting the need for early aggressive treatment.

This study explored the regenerative abilities of the African spiny mouse's skin, revealing more robust wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis compared to laboratory mice and highlighting unique features of its hair and wound response.

This review discusses traction alopecia in individuals with Afro-textured hair and emphasizes the importance of education to prevent this condition, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hair transplantation using round grafts improved hair growth in African American women with end-stage CCCA, showing no postoperative scarring in the donor or recipient areas.

This article discusses various types of alopecia more common in African-American individuals and reports no clinical results; it highlights the importance of recognizing and differentiating these subtypes for diagnosis and treatment.

This study found a significant decline in serum zinc levels among women of African descent using hair relaxers and experiencing alopecia, with age at first exposure potentially influencing alopecia development.

This study identified CCCA in 10 children of African descent, highlighting the occurrence of this scarring alopecia in patients under 18 and the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

This review highlights that acne keloidalis nuchae notably affects men with afro-textured hair and results in scarring and hair loss, underscoring the need for improved diagnosis and treatment strategies due to its significant psychosocial impact and high recurrence rates following current therapies.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in adult women of African descent and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight traditional treatments and their impact on quality of life.

This study reports that normal scalp and hair in Black Africans exhibited regular white dots and a preserved honeycomb pattern, with some showing peripilar casts and scales.

In this case report, a 16-year-old African American girl with sebaceous filaments on her face was successfully treated with topical tretinoin, highlighting the importance of recognizing and treating this under-reported condition for improved appearance and quality of life.

In this case report, researchers describe a 17-year-old African male with an overlapping condition of juvenile dermatomyositis and systemic scleroderma, highlighting the importance of thorough history-taking and physical examination for accurate diagnosis and suggesting early referral to a pediatric rheumatologist to prevent severe outcomes.

This case report details a 61-year-old Afro-Caribbean man with pseudofolliculitis barbae induced by oral minoxidil.

This review suggests that blood pressure differences among Afro-Caribbean and African communities may involve genetic factors as much as, or more than, salt intake, with no new clinical results reported.

Different ethnic groups have unique hair growth patterns, with African hair growing slower and less dense, Asian hair growing fast but sparse, and Caucasian hair being densest; men are more likely to experience hair loss than women.

This article discusses the potential genetic basis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in women of African ancestry but does not provide new research results.

This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

This article discusses the staging of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in women of African descent and reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections effectively increased hair density in African American women with traction alopecia, showing promise as a safe treatment option.

This study aimed to identify sociodemographic and clinical factors affecting quality of life in African-American women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, a primary scarring hair loss condition, as existing literature on quality of life specifically for these patients is scarce.

This case study describes successful hair growth in a 59-year-old African-American female with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia after switching to oral minoxidil treatment.

In this case report, an African American male with signs of acne keloidalis nuchae highlights the condition's chronic nature and need for early intervention to minimize permanent scarring and its psychosocial impact.

This study proposes creating formal educational programs for dermatologists to improve care for African American patients by addressing the lack of training in hair care practices and complications associated with cultural styles like braids and wigs, thereby aiming to enhance health outcomes and healthcare equity.

Genetic changes in specific proteins contribute to hair loss in some women of African descent.

This review reported that the dwarf palm (Chamaerops humilis) is traditionally used in North Africa for treating diabetes and gastrointestinal diseases, and identified a need for more research on its pharmacological and ethnobotanical properties, particularly in relation to its potential cancer-fighting uses.

This article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that CCCA in women of African descent is associated with molecular changes, including dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism and fibrosis pathways, suggesting potential targets for new treatments.
