Abstract
Introduction: Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is the most common cause of scarring alopecia in middle-aged black women. Trichoscopy is a noninvasive tool for diagnosis and follow-up of hair and scalp disorders. To date, limited studies have focused on its applicability to CCCA in existing literature. Methods: The present study aimed to describe the trichoscopic findings of 11 dark-skinned women with confirmed CCCA and provide a comprehensive discussion of our current knowledge regarding trichoscopy of this disease through a literature review. A thorough understanding of CCCA trichoscopy holds significant promise for early confirmation and treatment. Conclusion: By doing so, it is possible to mitigate the development of complications and alleviate the subsequent impact on patients’ quality of life.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
