    TLDR Oral zinc and Nd:YAG laser therapy effectively treated primary cicatricial alopecia in five patients.
    The document described a case series of 5 patients with primary cicatricial alopecia who were successfully treated with a combination of oral zinc and Nd:YAG laser therapy, resulting in complete remission of symptoms and partial hair recovery. The patients, aged 16 to 38, experienced no relapse during follow-up periods of several months to 4 years. The study suggested this treatment could be a viable option for PCA, though it called for long-term studies with more patients to validate these findings.
