Scalp surgical procedures, burns, and trauma can cause scarring alopecia, which places a significant burden on the lives of adolescents and leads to diminished quality of life (QOL). 1,2 In addition, adolescents with scarring alopecia may have lower levels of pride, selfworth, and body satisfaction, as well as higher levels of depressive symptoms, mental health problems, and suicidal ideation. 3,4 Management of pediatric scarring alopecia is often challenging, and several treatments approved for use in adults are off label in children and adolescents, with unknown safety and efficacy. 5 Hair grafting has become a popular treatment since it is minimally traumatic. This technique has been adapted for the reconstruction of sideburn alopecia. However, the use of hair transplantation in young patients has rarely been reported.

Alopecia in the scalp region leads to psychosocial embarrassment for an individual. Alopecia could be due to several reasons, including genetic, hormonal, traumatic and infections. Cicatricial alopecias (CAs) are considered as trichological emergency, since their progression is rapid and always results in permanent hair loss. The pathogenesis, disease progression and prognosis of CA are poorly understood, and the treatment process is still evolving. An early diagnosis must be established, and aggressive treatment protocol should be followed in the management of scarring alopecia. This article presents various aspects of CA and determines whether hair transplant (HT) should be done in this condition.
