. If left untreated, it can progress to scarring alopecia, in which scars cover the hair follicles and hair permanently stops growing there. But traction alopecia can be treated in its earlier stages with lifestyle modifications as well as topical, oral, or injected treatments.
That way you can at least assume that a dermatologist of color will walk into your appointment with a certain level of cultural knowledge about you, Dr. Ogunleye says. For example, a dermatologist familiar with Black women’s hair care routines would know not to recommend washing their hair daily to reduce dandruff , because that would be harmful for Black women with hair prone to breakage, she says.
