The Cicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation (C.A.R.F.) is the world’s only organization and voice for patients and families with cicatricial alopecia. Cicatricial or scarring alopecia comprises a group of rare disorders that cause permanent destruction of the hair follicle. These disorders are difficult to treat and cause permanent hair loss, often with much pain, itching and burning. Patients describe their symptoms as “hair on fire”.
