How to determine the effectiveness of treatment?

Cicatricial alopecia is a disease that, of course, is quite stressful for the patient and affects his quality of life. The urgency of the problem also lies in the fact that quite often, with complaints of hair loss and other unsatisfactory conditions of the scalp, the cosmetologist can act as the primary link in the provision of medical care.

In such a situation, it is extremely important for a specialist to be aware of the limits of his competence and be guided by the “do no harm” principle.

Considering that this group of diseases is a task "with an asterisk" for any doctor, it is very important to suspect the problem in a timely manner and start the most effective therapy in this case. A late visit to a doctor significantly aggravates the situation, not only in terms of the spread of the pathological process, but also because of the complexity of differential diagnosis.
