The current study was conducted to evaluate the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of cicatricial alopecia in Libyan community. Methods: Thirty-one patients with confirmed diagnosis of cicatricial alopecia by biopsy and tricoscopy during Jan 2018 to Dec 2019 were included in this study. Data were collected by filling a pre-designed questionnaire by all included patients. Descriptive statistics were used for analyzing the results. Chi-squared test was performed to test the relationship between different variables using SPSS 22. Results: Out of 31 cases, 16.1% of patients suffered from lichen planopilaris (LPP), 25.8% discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), 6% Folliculitis decalvans, 6.45% pseudopelade of brocq, and 16.12% Frontal fibrosing alopecia. Conclusions: Cicatricial alopecia was found to affect mainly middle-aged individuals, particularly females. Early diagnosis and treatment can decrease the burden of this concern.Fauzia MusbahEmergency Department of Hospital San Pedro (Logroño, Spain)articlecicatricialalopeciahair lossdisorderlybiaMedicine (General)R5-920ENIberoamerican Journal of Medicine, Vol 2, Iss 4, Pp 275-278 (2020)
