Abstract
The hair of the scalp is a human characteristic that conveys aspects of self-image, identity, and health. Hair loss from disease or other conditions may result in disturbed self-perception and psychological conflicts. Cicatricial alopecia encompasses a diverse group of disorders characterized by permanent destruction of the hair follicles and irreversible hair loss. It is classified into primary and secondary cicatricial alopecia [1].
