Drug: Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Emollient Foam
Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) is an inflammation-induced
hair loss starting in the central scalp and progressing centrifugally. The
cause of CCCA is unknown. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to stop
or slow the progression of scarring and permanent hair loss. Once scarring
occurs, the hair follicles are obliterated and the hair cannot regrow. Thus,
anti-inflammatory medications are used to decrease inflammation. Current
treatment includes topical and intralesional corticosteroids, oral
antibiotics, and hair transplantation, all which may take months to years to
show improvement. There is no evidence-based medicine on how to treat
primary cicatricial alopecias. Clobestasol Propionate 0.05% Emollient Foam is
an FDA-approved and marketed topical corticosteroid for the treatment of the
inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of moderate to severe corticosteroid-
responsive dermatoses of the scalp. Many studies found the foam to be less
irritating than the original formulation.
