In this report, the authors describe the case of an 83-year-old woman initially diagnosed with atrophic actinic keratosis, but further examination and skin biopsies at their clinic suggested the presence of an inflammatory disease, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing pemphigus.

Scarring alopecias are complex hair loss disorders that require early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for effective treatments owing to limited evidence of current therapies' efficacy.

This article reviews treatment approaches for cicatricial alopecia, describing how medication efficacy varies and suggesting autologous hair transplantation for stable cases; no new clinical data are presented.

The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."

The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat scarring hair loss conditions.
