CCCA (Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia)
Investigated.
A progressive scarring hair loss that begins at the crown and radiates outward. It disproportionately affects Black women, and time is the single biggest factor in what can be preserved.
What this usually looks like
- Progressive thinning starting at the crown
- Scalp tenderness, itching, or pins-and-needles
- Shiny or smooth patches where hair once was
- Family history of scarring hair loss
The Open Question
Recognizing it is not the same as proving it.
CCCA (Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia) looks like several other suspects from the outside — which is why so many people treat the wrong one for years. Your Hair Investigation™ settles it, in private, with Dr. Leola.
