Trichoscopic Findings of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

The study focused on trichoscopic findings in 50 female patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA), a type of scarring alopecia affecting postmenopausal women. Conducted at Benha University clinic, the research highlighted several trichoscopic features: a marked reduction in follicular ostia, perifollicular desquamation, blue-gray spots, follicular hyperkeratosis, perifollicular erythema, lonely hair, and an abrupt interruption of the hairline, with an absence of vellus hairs. These findings underscored the utility of trichoscopy in diagnosing FFA.
