Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2022 AB - Alopecias are divided into scarring and nonscarring forms. When evaluating a patient who complains of hair loss, it is most important to determine if follicular markings (the opening where hair exits the skin) are present or absent. Present follicular markings suggest a nonscarring alopecia; absent follicular markings suggest a scarring alopecia.
