And Next… Adnexa: Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

In 2015, a 55-year-old African woman with a medical history of type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and depression sought medical attention for a 4-year history of frontotemporal alopecia and complete loss of eyebrows. She experienced scalp itching and occasionally developed red bumps on her limbs. Despite undergoing hair transplantation a year prior, she saw no improvement in her hair loss. Her medications included metformin for diabetes, levothyroxine for hypothyroidism, amlodipine for hypertension, and sertraline for depression. No other treatments for her hair loss had been attempted at the time of the report.
