A Discussion about Scarring Alopecia Fundamentals

Scarring Alopecia 101: A Closer Look at the Basics of Scarring Alopecia.

Affected patients typically experience permanent hair loss.

I was invited yesterday to talk about the basics of scarring alopecia with the Cicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation (CARF). The lecture can be found in the link below:
