5 Preface There have been several recent reviews published of the primary cicatricial alopecias, so why was this monograph produced? We felt there was a need for a richly-illustrated and practical text that would be a teaching vehicle primarily for dermatology residents and interested dermatology colleagues. We realize that hair loss in general is not a topic on the curriculum of all dermatology departments, and cicatricial alopecia (scarring alopecia) in particular is frequently not covered. At the University of California, San Francisco, we have held grand rounds dedicated entirely to the scarring alopecias. Introductory lectures are given highlighting clinical and histologic aspects, current treatments, and a summary of new research. In the patient viewing session, patients with characteristic features of each of the predominantly lymphocytic and neutrophilic cicatricial alopecias are presented. By immersing residents and colleagues in the topic of cicatricial alopecias, they have been able to envision a more global and systematic view of these disorders. The feedback has been tremendous: I finally got it! In writing this monograph, we sought to replicate such a teaching session, and the information is presented as though the reader was shadowing us in the clinic. Each disease chapter is introduced with a clinical scenario of a patient, along with relevant clues for making the diagnosis. The discussion section follows and includes multiple photographs and take-away pearls to provide practical information needed to diagnose, manage, and counsel the patient. The suggested reading is not meant to be an exhaustive literature review, but rather a list of a few salient references. The voices of the patients can be heard in the chapter written by patients who tell of their frustrations in being undiagnosed by doctor after doctor, and untreated or mistreated for years. Our goal is to put the cicatricial alopecias on the center stage for dermatology residents and colleagues, because dermatologists may be the only physicians who can diagnose and treat these patients.

7 Acknowledgments We have been privileged to care for and follow many patients with cicatricial alopecia, and are grateful to all of them for giving us the first-hand opportunity to learn about these conditions. Our patients emphasize how much research is needed to increase our understanding and improve our current treatments, and we dedicate this monograph to them. We thank the six patients who shared their personal experiences with cicatricial alopecia in Chapter 10. We are indebted to the Cicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation (CARF) for changing the landscape for these diseases. The Foundation was associated with the production of this monograph and is an indispensable resource for patients and doctors alike. We are grateful to the many CARF volunteers who provided valuable contributions during various phases of this monograph. We also thank Sheila Belkin, CARF s CEO, for coordinating the patient chapter and for her encouragement throughout. We would like to thank Dr. Bruce Wintroub for his ongoing support of our interest in cicatricial alopecia. He has been instrumental in fostering collaborations that have moved our work and knowledge forward. We are grateful to many individuals whose help has been invaluable in creating the monograph. Dr. Tim McCalmont guided us through countless scalp biopsies and wrote the chapter on dermatopathology. He and Dr. Phil LeBoit both continue to enlighten us about the histopathology of cicatricial alopecia. Dr. Aman Samrao worked diligently throughout the entire production, and her assistance was indispensable in handling tables, figures, clinical images, and whatever was asked of her. Dr. Jeffrey Donovan gave valuable editorial input and assisted with assembling the references. Dr. Tim Berger helped to update many concepts and to remove old baggage from this field; we greatly appreciate his interest in clarifying the lexicon. We thank Canfield Scientific for generously giving us the use of their Nikon camera. We are indebted to Dr. Sarah Cipriano and Leslie Chau for their expert technical and administrative support. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the major contribution of Dr. Pratima Karnik whose molecular studies have pioneered a breakthrough in understanding the crucial role of the sebaceous gland in normal hair growth and in the pathogenesis of cicatricial alopecia. We also wish to acknowledge Dr. Kurt Stenn, who for many prior years had advocated further study of the sebaceous gland and its role in hair growth and hair loss. vii
