    Glossary Lymphocytic Cicatricial Alopecia

    immune system attacks hair follicles, causing permanent scarring

    Lymphocytic Cicatricial Alopecia is a type of hair loss where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to permanent scarring and hair loss. This condition involves lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, which infiltrate the hair follicles and cause inflammation, eventually destroying the follicles and replacing them with scar tissue.
