@MickeySegal is this really characteristic? See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470253/ I think this term as such is difficult because it is too closely tied to one diagnosis. Is there a general description of the phenotypic observation?

Some other examples: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9997686/ "Annular Basal Cell Carcinoma Expanding Around Central Hypertrophic Scarring: A Case Report"

https://www.dovepress.com/central-centrifugal-cicatricial-alopecia-challenges-and-solutions-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-CCID "Their hypothesis was derived from studying ten African American women with central scarring alopecia who did not engage in the hair practices noted by the previous authors (ie, straightening with a hot comb and petrolatum)."

It seems to be a term in wide use.
