Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is a type of scarring alopecia exclusively seen in women of African descent. The etiology is unknown and epidemiologic studies including data on comorbidities in patients with CCCA are limited. Our primary objective was to identify possible etiologic and lifestyle associations in patients with CCCA.
