Folliculitis Decalvans With Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in a Dark Phototype: Presentation of Folliculitis Decalvans and Lichen Planopilaris Phenotypic Spectrum

This study discusses the coexistence of Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) in patients with darker skin types, highlighting the phenotypic spectrum that includes features of both FD and Lichen Planopilaris (LPP). The authors present cases that illustrate the clinical and histopathological overlap between these conditions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing this spectrum for accurate diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for further research to understand the pathogenesis and optimal management strategies for these overlapping alopecia conditions in diverse populations.
