Scarring alopecia (also called primary cicatricial alopecia) does not look the same in every patient. In this Baldcast trailer, I introduce Two Marias, one facing frontal fibrosing alopecia and the other battling folliculitis decalvans, two different paths to inflammation driven scarring and hair loss. This is the question I hear constantly, and we address it head-on: is scarring alopecia permanent? In the full episode, I break down what I look for clinically, when a scalp biopsy matters, and how I build a plan to slow the inflammatory process before more follicles are lost. What to watch for (do not ignore these): Hairline recession, eyebrow thinning, burning or itching scalp, scalp tenderness, crusting, scalp pustules, and tufted hairs. Stay tuned for the full episode.
