“…6 Fibrosing alopecia in pattern distribution (FAPD) was described in 2000 by Zinkernagel and Tr€ ueb as a new form of cicatricial alopecia. FAPD is a diffuse, non-patchy cicatricial alopecia limited to the area of androgenetic hair loss 24 (Figure 2). Patients usually complain of a long-lasting history of hair loss variably associated with scalp dysesthesia.…”

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most prevalent type of hair loss in women and men. Recently, a European consensus group published guidelines for the diagnostic evaluation of AGA in men, women, and adolescents. This S1 guideline presents expert opinion‐based recommendations for gender‐dependent steps in the diagnostic procedure, which can easily be implemented in the daily clinical routine. For diagnosing AGA, detailed anamnesis and objective learning are not enough because there are several conditions mimicking this disease. Trichoscopy can be considered an important, non‐invasive tool for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders that may have similar clinical signs to AGA.

“…28,38 In contrast to the pattern of hair loss, the disease clinically presents as patches of permanent hair loss on the vertex or crown of the scalp and spreads centrifugally. 24,39,40 The aim of the study by Miteva and Tosti was to establish the spectrum of dermoscopic features and frequency in CCCA.…”

“…Cicatricial alopecias include lichen plano pilaris (LPP), CCCA, discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), and others. 7,8 In scalp examination, look for patchy hair loss, redness around the base of hair follicles as they exit the skin, loss of follicular ostia, shininess of the skin, scarring of the scalp, or hair loss without miniaturization (►Fig. 5).…”

Is Every Patient of Hair Loss a Candidate for Hair Transplant?—Deciding Surgical Candidacy in Pattern Hair Loss

Patterned hair loss which includes both male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or androgenic alopecia (AGA) and female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the most common indication for hair transplant surgery. However, not all such patients are candidates for hair transplants. There are eight conditions that cause patients to not be appropriate candidates. These are: diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), cicatricial alopecia (CA), patients with unstable hair loss, patients with insufficient hair loss, very young patients, patients with unrealistic expectations, patients with psychologic disorders such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and trichotillomania, and patients who are medically unfit. In addition, there are patients who are poor candidates and who should undergo hair transplantation only if they understand and accept limited results. The key to identifying these patients involves performing careful and detailed history and examination at the time of consultation.

“…1 Although hair loss is not usually associated with seborrhoeic dermatitis, some authors [1][2][3] suggest that in chronic cases there may be temporary hair loss, with increased telogen shedding, that is reversible when the inflammation has been suppressed. Follicular involvement of seborrheic dermatitis with histological evidence of diffuse, progressive cicatricial alopecia has not been reported in major texts 1,4,5 other than in the context of severe inflammation with HIV antiretroviral therapy. 6…”

An association between adult scalp seborrhoeic dermatitis and cicatricial hair loss has not previously been convincingly established. This study seeks to demonstrate a unique relationship between a clinically identifiable chronic scalp dermatitis-folliculitis with the characteristic histological features of low-grade inflammatory fibrosing alopecia, resulting in a distinctive progressive cicatricial alopecia which we believe is prevalent and hitherto unrecognised, and befits the description of seborrhoeic folliculitis. The clinical, epidemiological and histopathological features of seborrhoeic folliculitis are demonstrated to establish its unique status among the disorders of adult diffuse cicatricial alopecia.
