Summary
This early study tests whether azelaic acid, a substance that reduces inflammation, can help treat central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a condition that causes scarring and hair loss in women. Researchers will compare azelaic acid to a placebo in 18 women to see if it slows hair loss and improves symptoms. The goal is to find a new way to control this disease.
