L66: Cicatricial alopecia [scarring hair loss]
L66.9: Cicatricial alopecia, unspecified
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.
