November 2021 in “International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences” The document discussed alopecia, which is the loss of hair from any part of the body, and highlighted its significance in human self-image and health. It differentiated between scarring and non-scarring alopecia, with scarring alopecia further categorized based on the type of inflammatory cells involved: lymphocytic, neutrophilic, and mixed. Scarring alopecias were noted to result from inflammation that irreversibly destroys hair follicles. The etiology and pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecia (PCA) remained unclear, but it was considered an inflammatory disorder.
