TLDR A young woman developed facial bumps before hair loss, which is unusual for her condition.
The document described a case report and literature review on frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) in a premenopausal woman, highlighting the unique presentation of rapidly spreading facial papules that appeared before the onset of alopecia. This case was notable due to the patient's young age and the unusual sequence of symptoms. The report aimed to better characterize facial papules associated with FFA, which also included other features like thinning of eyebrows, extremity hair loss, and eyelash loss.
