Hair Transplant for Woman with Central Centrifugal Cicatrical Alopecia?

I am a 24 year old African American female who was just diagnosed with CCCA on yesterday. I have no idea what it is that I can do other than take the steroids that were prescribed in order to slow down the progression of the condition. Would I not be a candidate for hair transplantation or a scalp reduction?

If you were just diagnosed with central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia (CCCA) and didn’t get your questions answered by your doctor, you can find a lot more information at the Ciicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation site.

It’s possible steroid treatment would help, because steroids can alleviate the inflammatory reaction associated with CCCA… but there’s no specific cure. Hair transplants are not recommended for patients with CCCA.
