the ans. is B.

Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia refers to a group of rare disorders which destroy the hair follicle and replace it with scar tissue, thereby causing permanent hair loss. It occurs worldwide in otherwise healthy men and women of all ages.

I think all can cause scarring alopecia.

The term "cicatricial/scarring alopecia" refers to a diverse group of rare disorders that destroy the hair follicle, replace it with scar tissue, and cause permanent hair loss. In some cases, hair loss is gradual, without symptoms, and is unnoticed for long periods. In other cases, hair loss is associated with severe itching, burning and pain and is rapidly progressive.

Causes -- severe infections, burns, radiation, or tumors; lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, central centrifugal alopecia, pseudopelade (Brocq), alopecia mucinosa, and keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans.

"Cicatricial baldness may occur following chemical or physical trauma,lichen planopilaris,bacterial or fungal infections,sever herpes zoster.chronic DLE,scleroderma, and excessive ionizing radiations."

I will stick to my answer.SLE doesn't cause cicatricial baldness....Checked one of the sites given by Cilone..that wasn't even a med site.So,dun gonna trust 'em.
