research Guidelines for Clinical Trials of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Consensus Recommendations from the International FFA Cooperative Group
Experts agreed on guidelines to improve research on Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Successfully Treated with Methotrexate or Just the Natural Disease Progression?
Methotrexate may help stabilize frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: An Update on Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment
The cause of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia is unclear, diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and various treatments exist, but their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors Gamma Serum Levels and Gene Polymorphism in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Case-Control Study
This study involving 93 Egyptian female patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) and 157 healthy controls found that FFA patients had significantly lower serum levels of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors Gamma (PPARγ) and a higher prevalence of the PPARG (Pro12Ala) gene polymorphism. These genetic variations were linked to reduced PPARγ levels and increased FFA severity, suggesting that PPARγ could be a crucial biomarker for FFA. Although the study indicates the potential of PPARγ agonists in treating FFA, it could not evaluate their therapeutic efficacy due to patient compliance issues.
research Social Status May Interfere in the Prognosis of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in Female Patients: An Observational Study

5 / 395 resultscommunity Finasteride not working isnt it MPB?
A user is concerned that finasteride isn't working for their hair loss, questioning if it's due to male pattern baldness or low iron levels. They are advised to take finasteride daily and get blood work done.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
A user has been experiencing hair loss for 4 years, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and various supplements proving ineffective. They were diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a condition that may require a combination of anti-inflammatory and hair growth treatments.
community almost 6 months of progress :)
The user shared their 6-month hair regrowth progress using finasteride, minoxidil, biotin, and iron supplements, along with occasional microneedling and specific shampoos. They reported minimal side effects and no retrograde alopecia, attributing their success to a combination of treatments.
community Where to Begin with Microneedling?
User is considering microneedling to enhance hair regrowth after limited response to minoxidil and better results with finasteride and ketoconazole shampoo. Recommendations include using a 1.5mm derma roller once a week, avoiding minoxidil on microneedling days, and disinfecting the roller with isopropyl alcohol.
