research Differentiating Between Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, Traction Alopecia, and Alopecia Areata in Black Patients: Photographic Examples from a Clinical Trial
The study highlights the diagnostic challenges in differentiating between Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA), Traction Alopecia, and Alopecia Areata (AA) in Black patients, using photographic evidence from a clinical trial. In the BRAVE-AA1 addendum 5 study, 36 patients' scalp photographs were reviewed, revealing that 33% were diagnosed with CCCA or other scarring alopecia, predominantly in females. Key diagnostic signs included scalp pigmentation changes for CCCA, the "fringe sign" for traction alopecia, and asymmetrical bald patches for AA. The study emphasizes that misdiagnosis can occur due to overlapping hair loss patterns, and while photographs aid in diagnosis, they are not definitive without biopsies. The findings underscore the importance of visual signs in tailoring treatment plans for alopecia in Black patients.
