    TLDR CCCA causes progressive hair loss in Black women, starting from a central scalp patch.
    Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) was described in the document as a condition affecting Black women, characterized by progressive hair loss starting from a central patch on the scalp. The document presented cases of early and late stages of CCCA in two Black women, aged 45 and 43, respectively, highlighting the progression from a small to a large central patch of hair loss. This condition was noted for its impact on the affected individuals, emphasizing the need for awareness and potential interventions to manage and mitigate hair loss in this demographic.
