Here's a report about women's hair loss:
Women of African descent have a different, but just as common, type of hair loss called central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA). This type of hair loss also results in loss on the top of the scalp, while sparing the back of the scalp. It is different than female pattern hair loss as the hair follicles have a tendency to be destroyed, not just miniaturized.
Once a hair follicle is destroyed, regrowth is not possible. Thus, women with this type of hair loss are at risk for, and frequently develop, cicatricial or permanent hair loss and should seek evaluation by a dermatologist as soon as possible.
Patients with CCCA will usually need a biopsy of their scalp, a simple office procedure done in a dermatologistīs office, to make the diagnosis. Treatment for CCCA usually begins with treating any infection and using anti-inflammatory medications to decrease or eliminate the inflammatory cells that are attacking and destroying the hair follicle. Topical minoxidil also may be used to stimulate the growth in any unscarred hair follicles.
