Scarring alopecia

If you had AA, AT, or AU, how do you know if you have scarring alopecia? I know the only way to know for sure is a biopsy but I'm wondering how someone gets scarring alopecia and if its possible for someone who has AA/AT/AU to transform into scarring alopecia aka hair cannot regrow due to dead hair follicles. Any one know anything about this? I know everyone with severe alopecia does not have scarring because hair has grown back for people after years without it. Thanks for any insight.

Jason, I don't know much about scarring alopecia. I've have AU all my life and figure my hair follicles are long past gone and dead.  Maybe I have scarring alopecia?  Doesn't matter much what you call it. It's no hair and it's not growing back. Not after 50 years... stats say almost zero chance of regrowth past 20 years of AU. but don't "quote" me on that.
