Cosmetic causes of scarring alopecia are poorly documented. They include traction alopecia and hot-combing. Recently, another group has presented in the South London area, related to misuse of chemical hair straightening agents. Affected patients are young, female, of Afro-Caribbean origin, and typically display hair loss on the vertex of the scalp. Histology shows a pattern of fibrosis and inflammation characteristic of the physical damage seen with other cosmetic procedures. This histological pattern is distinguishable from other non-cosmetic causes of scarring alopecia.
瘢痕性秃发的美容原因记录较少。它们包括牵引性秃发和热梳损伤。最近，在伦敦南部地区出现了另一类病例，与化学直发剂的不当使用有关。受影响的患者为年轻女性，具有非洲加勒比裔血统，通常表现为头皮顶部脱发。组织学显示出一种纤维化和炎症模式，这是其他美容手术造成的物理损伤所特有的。这种组织学模式可与瘢痕性秃发的其他非美容原因相区分。
