L66.9: Cicatricial alopecia, unspecified

You have scarring on your scalp. New hair can no longer grow there.

The roots of your hair have been destroyed so that no new hair can grow. The hairless areas are initially often small and can spread further.

Disorders of the immune system or burns often cause scarred skin with hair loss. This type of hair loss can also occasionally be caused by congenital skin conditions or certain pathogens.

  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
