Can your own blood help regrow hair? new trial targets scarring hair loss

This study tests whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made from a patient's own blood, can stop hair loss and promote regrowth in women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a scarring hair loss condition common in women of African descent. About 56 women with mild to moderate CCCA will receive either PRP or a placebo injection, while all continue using a standard topical steroid. The goal is to see if PRP can improve hair regrowth and reduce symptoms like itching and pain.
