Other forms of hair loss include some violations, which result in the beginning or from time to time reoccurring or permanent hair loss. All such violations may be a result of either primary or secondary processes. These primary processes involve destruction of the hair follicle and loss of follicular ostia (ostia are the openings of the hair follicles through which the hair fibers emerge) as a result of a specific disease mechanism exclusively focused on the hair follicles and which does not affect other tissues and organs of the body. Secondary processes are more generalized disease mechanisms that can damage several tissues and organs as well as inducing scarring alopecia. These forms of hair loss include scarring baldness (Alopecia Cicatricica), which has this name due to the form of scars this balding appears; hair loss due to inflammation processes or inflammatory baldness (Alopecia Inflammatio) - as a result of such diseases as seborrhea, psoriasis, etc.; and hair loss due to physical effects or traumatic baldness (Alopecia Trichotillomania - hair falling after tension, etc. Any of these forms of Alopecia typically result in the hair follicle fibrosis (fibrous tissue inflammation of the hair) and finally irreversibly destroy these hair follicles. Once destroyed hair follicles will never be able to recover and begin producing hair again, regardless of further treatment and improvement of the condition of hair and general health. One other form of non-scarring baldness included in this section is senescent baldness (Sensile Alopecia), which is found in older aging persons who boast a full head of hair well into middle age, and who typically deny a family history of balding.
