Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia in Austin.

Cicatricial alopecia — scarring alopecia — is a group of conditions in which inflammation destroys the follicle and replaces it with scar tissue. Because follicle loss can be permanent, early diagnosis is critical, and it’s the one pattern where prompt medical evaluation matters most.

What it is

Inflammation that scars the follicle.

In cicatricial alopecia, inflammation attacks and destroys the hair follicle, leaving scar tissue where hair once grew. Once a follicle is scarred, hair cannot regrow from it — which is why acting early is so important.
Diagnosis often requires a scalp biopsy to identify the specific type and guide medical treatment. Our Medical Director leads evaluation and, where needed, referral.
