PATHOGENESIS OF ALOPECIA 499 ½icatricial alopecias, other than those already mentioned, include a number of cutaneous diseases with atrophy. They are pseudopelade, lupus erythematosus, lichen planus and scleroderma. Treatment with the chloroquins may stop progression and occasionally produces hair re- growth. In male-pattern alopecia there is evidence to indicate that each individual hair tbllicle is genetically predisposed to respond or not to respond to androgenic and/or other influences that inhibit its growth. The affected site may support hair growth, as evidenced by the ability of full-thickness hair-growing autografts to take in these recipient sites and then produce hair at the same rate and of the same texture and color as the hair of the donor site (Figs. 29 and 30). In general, the various alopecias can be differentiated from one another by expert appraisal of clinical and microscopic findings, together with history. BIBLIOGRAPHY I1) Behrman, H.
