    inflammation destroys hair follicles, replacing them with scar tissue

    Scarring Alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia, is a group of hair loss disorders where inflammation destroys hair follicles and replaces them with scar tissue, leading to permanent hair loss. This condition can be caused by various factors, including autoimmune diseases, infections, or physical trauma, and often requires a biopsy for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
