Please supply info on pseudopalade and what are the chanches of hair transplants. This diagnosis was made by a local dermatologist in South Africa where I live.
Pseudopelade is a peculiar form of scarring alopecia resembling alopecia areata. It is unclear if it is immunologic (your body thinks your hair is foreign and kills it) or genetic in nature. Unfortunately the condition is not amendable to hair transplantation, because you would run the risk of more hair loss and failure of the transplanted hair to grow.
