Cicatricial Pemphigoid Rarely Involves the Scalp

The document presented a case of cicatricial pemphigoid with significant scarring alopecia as a major manifestation and reviewed a series of cicatricial pemphigoid patients in Oxford, UK. Out of 54 patients, only 4 had scarring alopecia of the scalp. Although rare, this manifestation posed a difficult management problem, as patients found it cosmetically distressing and there were no successful treatments available at the time.
