    Glossary Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

    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. It is most commonly seen in African American women and can lead to permanent hair loss due to the destruction of hair follicles and subsequent scarring.
