Scarring baldness or Alopecia Cicatricica is a group of dissimilar disorders that each result in irreversible hair loss. This permanent hair loss can stem either from a primary or secondary process, where a specific disease mechanism is either exclusively focused on the hair follicles destruction and or damages several tissues and organs at the same time inducing scarring baldness. Primary Alopecia Cicatricial conditions are usually non-scarring initially with the scalp erupting into colored spots and lesions. In due course of time, the scalp takes on a patchy appearance – irregular bald patches appearing in the midst of normal to sparse growth of hair. In its advanced stages, the hairline can recede and the bald patches grow, ultimately leading to extensive and even total scalp baldness. The classification is based on the principal "lymphocytic" or "neutrophilic" inflammatory cell type detected in scalp biopsy specimens taken from clinically active lesions. Disorders that cannot be correctly classified under either of these two specific headings are identified as “mixed” or “non-specific”. These diseases occur when the a destruction of hair follicles and scars on the skin are due to defects in the general body development, hereditary or environmental factors, autoimmunity or infections, systemic or local immune deficits, etc. Sometimes disease develops in areas of skin damages due to excoriation and wounds.
