    GlossaryFrontal Scalp (Frontal Hairline)

    area of the scalp at the front of the head

    The frontal scalp, also known as the frontal hairline or forehead scalp, refers to the area of the scalp located at the front of the head, just above the forehead. This region is significant in both cosmetic and medical contexts, as it is often the first area to show signs of hair thinning or recession, particularly in conditions like male or female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).

      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.
