Scarring Alopecias
Scarring can occur from one of these factors: infection, chemical or autoimmune.
Any bacterial infection which makes the scalp itch, causing an abrasion or making the infection worse by scratching, may result in scarring. The scar is formed once the abrasion heals itself, the scar tissue does not support hair growth as a result.
Chemical damage can occur when the chemical is strong enough to burn and damage skin cells, or cause a secondary infection. This may also result in scarring.
Autoimmune scarring alopecias can be progressive and a thorough history of all possible causes must be explored, early treatment is vital as there is no cure, although, with permission a referral to a GP or dermatologist for treatment with could include steroids, anti-malarial drugs or systemic antibiotics, may help halt the progression.
