Pili torti is a rare condition where hair is twisted and breaks easily, often linked to genetic disorders or other health issues.

Folliculitis decalvans is a rare scalp condition causing scarring hair loss, treated with long-term antibiotics and other medications, but it often comes back and is hard to manage.

A man developed a rare scalp disorder, Folliculitis Decalvans, 20 years after hair restoration surgery, and it required long-term antibiotic treatment.

Some treatments for folliculitis decalvans work well, with tetracyclines and a mix of rifampicin and clindamycin being most effective.

Current treatments for folliculitis decalvans include antibiotics, isotretinoin, and potential new therapies like botulinum toxin A and PRP.

Accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment are crucial for managing complex hair loss conditions.

Cholesterol-related compounds can stop hair growth and cause inflammation in a type of scarring hair loss.

The guide helps clinicians diagnose and manage hair loss, detailing examination techniques and treatments for different types of alopecia.

The document concludes that accurate diagnosis and treatment of scalp itch require differentiating between various conditions using a proposed five-step evaluation process.

Doctors should diagnose hair loss by examining the patient and possibly doing tests, and then treat it based on the type, which may prevent permanent hair loss.

The document concludes that new methods improve the accuracy of diagnosing scalp alopecia and challenges the old way of classifying it.

The document concludes that scalp conditions have various causes and can present in many different ways.

Elastin staining helps assess late-stage scarring alopecia but is not definitive, and clinical diagnosis is still crucial.

New understanding of the causes of primary cicatricial alopecia has led to better diagnosis and potential new treatments.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp diseases without needing skin biopsies.

Scarring alopecia, a type of hair loss, is most common in females under 35, often caused by discoid lupus erythematosus and pseudopelade of Brocq. Skin punch biopsy and histopathology are key to identifying its cause.

The conclusion is that certain scalp tissue changes are characteristic of lichen planopilaris, with mucinous perifollicular fibroplasia being a new feature for diagnosis.

Early detection and histopathology are crucial to prevent permanent hair loss in cicatricial alopecia.

Middle-aged women in Iran are most affected by primary cicatricial alopecia, especially discoid lupus erythematous.

Early treatment is key for permanent hair loss disorders, with options ranging from medications and phototherapy to immunomodulators and antibiotics, depending on severity and type.

The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of primary cicatricial alopecia is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.

Permanent hair loss from cicatricial alopecia is treated by reducing inflammation and managing symptoms, but regrowth in scarred areas is unlikely.

Treatments for permanent hair loss from scarring aim to stop further loss, not regrow hair, and vary by condition, with partial success common.

Hair restoration surgery can potentially treat primary scarring alopecias, but it's important to start early medication, ensure patient remission before transplant, and monitor after surgery.

The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.

There are many treatments for permanent hair loss disorders, but their effectiveness varies and there's no clear best option.

The document concludes that surgery is a preferred treatment for cicatricial alopecia, with the method chosen based on individual factors and may require multiple sessions and careful postoperative care.
