ABSTRACT
In this cross-sectional analysis of TikTok content related to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), physician-created videos demonstrated significantly higher information quality than non-physician content, while discussion of racial disparities and skin-of-color considerations in CCCA were limited across all creators on the platform.
