Brief Summary:
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if calcipotriol shows potential to be an effective treatment for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). This study aims to evaluate calcipotriol due to the possible anti-inflammatory effects that may affect the hair growth cycle.
Detailed Description:
Calcipotriol, a vitamin D analog, has been topically used to treat alopecia areata, a form of non-scarring autoimmune alopecia in several studies. It is possible that Vitamin D plays a role in sustaining the hair follicle's immune privilege through anti-inflammatory effects such as controlling Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) production. A recent study showed a significant decrease of vitamin D in Black patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)"
