Alopecia has two types: Citacricial Alopecia and Non-Citacricial Alopecia. In Citacricial Alopecia, epithelium follicles are replaced by connective tissue which is irreversible. Non-Citacricial Alopecia is reversible and hair follicle remains intact. The Citarcricial and non-Citacricial share similarities, in both clinical and in histological aspects. Citacricial Alopecia illustrates a set of diseases; where the sign of which is destruction of skin biopsy. Few papers have investigated this topic. Citacricial Alopecia also has two types; the first type causes inflammation in initial and secondary follicles. While in second type doesn’t harm the follicles. The first type further divides into neutrophilic, lymphocytic and mixed. This paper discusses the first type of Alopecia Scarring, which includes Acne Kolidal Splitting Cellulite and scalp dermatitis Pustular neutrophilic. In this research, all patients suspected of neutrophilic Alopecia from 2005-2009 were treated clinically and after that they went under skin biopsy examinations and histology study in order to confirm or reject the diagnosis; this had been performed to determine consistency between neutrophilic Alopecia in clinical form and confirmation of histology in these patients; The applied objective in this research deals with quick identification of neutrophilic Alopecia scarring and its quick treatment which could slow down the inflammation.
