    type of hair loss with scarring in a patterned distribution

    Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution is a type of hair loss where the hair follicles are replaced by fibrous (scar) tissue, leading to permanent hair loss. This condition typically follows a pattern similar to androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), but with the added complication of scarring, which makes hair regrowth impossible.
