Hair’s the Question

Abstract

In the November/December 2012 issue of the Forum (22(6):238), Dr. Marco Barusco reviewed the book “Cicatricial Alopecia: An Approach to Diagnosis and Management,” by Drs. Vera Price and Paradi Mirmirani.¹ Always on the lookout for new hair-related text books (and an easy topic on which to quiz myself!), this little volume turned out to be a gem. It is packed with clinical pearls and the latest diagnoses and treatments for scarring (cicatricial) alopecias, and I highly recommend it—especially if you want to ace the next sets of quiz questions! Here’s the first. Enjoy!

*Please note that the terms scarring and cicatricial are used interchangeably throughout the referenced monograph and as such should be considered equivalent in this question set.
