Secondary alopecia: Caused externally to the patient; such as an accident. They are not usually studied but can be treated to improve their evolution and even perform capillary transplants or repair surgeries.

NON-SCARRING ALOPECIA

Alopecia in which the hair root is not destroyed, allowing the hair to regrow. They are the most frequent. In principle, if the cause of the alopecia can be controlled with treatments, it will reverse with hair growth appearing. Early treatment of non-scarring alopecias is important because hair, if it has not grown for a long time, will not have the same growth capacity as in the initial stages.

Types of non-scarring alopecia

Androgenetic Alopecia
Alopecia Areata
Trichotillomania
Telogen Effluvium
Traction Alopecia
Tinea Capitis

SCARRING ALOPECIA

Alopecia also known as permanent, because the hair root is aggressively damaged and replaced by a scar, so the hair can no longer grow back. They are less frequent than non-scarring ones, but more complex, as once they advance, the only way to replace hair is through a hair transplant. Dermatologists call them trichological emergencies because it is essential to control them in early stages to prevent their evolution.
