Scarring, or cicatricial alopecia, is an inflammatory condition that destroys hair follicles, causing scarring and permanent hair loss.
Primary cicatricial alopecia refers to a diverse group of rare disorders that destroy the hair follicle, replace it with scar tissue, and cause permanent hair loss. Hair loss can be gradual, without symptoms, and unnoticed for long periods.

Wow, I actually saw preclinical data on this compound, it was previously approved for arthritis and the alopecia data just came out a few months ago. Great to see it got through regulatory clearance so quickly for the new indication, presumably not having to redo all the toxicology let the FDA wave it through.
