This study reviewed clinical data from 60 patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and found increasing prevalence and generally poor response to treatment, with the cause remaining unclear.

This study proposes that seasonal alopecia and reproductive changes in six female fossas at the San Diego Zoo may be linked to hormonal changes associated with reproductive activity.

This review highlights available treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, intralesional steroids, and hydroxychloroquine currently have the most evidence supporting their use, while other treatments show variable results and require further study.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

A young woman developed facial bumps before hair loss, which is unusual for her condition.

This case report describes a patient with a severe pruritic rash and hair loss in both axillary regions, with no fluorescence under a Wood's lamp and hair follicle-centred papules observed through dermoscopy.

This abstract introduces the concept of follicular units (FUs) in the human scalp but presents no new research findings.

This article presents a case study of a 50-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and discusses the role of dermoscopy in differentiating it from other types of alopecia, reporting no new clinical results.

This case report highlights that frontal fibrosing alopecia can occur in black patients and may resemble androgenetic alopecia, underscoring the importance of considering FFA when diagnosing frontotemporal alopecia in this population.

In this study, researchers analyzed trichoscopy findings in black patients with FFA to aid in precise diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the importance of understanding disease characteristics to improve hair care in this group.

This review discusses the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting the lack of clinical trial data and limited observational treatment results.

This case study reports successful treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia with daily 2.5mg finasteride in a 77-year-old woman.

This review discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia in males and reports no new clinical results, indicating a broader demographic affected by this inflammatory disorder beyond postmenopausal women.

This review compiles existing data on frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the promise of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors as a treatment option, while noting the need for clarity on its cause and progression.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia involves distinct molecular changes, such as downregulation of steroid and cholesterol pathways and upregulation of fibrotic and immune response genes, which may help guide treatment strategies.

This study found that dermoscopy of the axilla in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia revealed significantly higher odds of brownish peripillary halos, suggesting a diagnostic clue for the condition in this region.

This study examined 56 Thai patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss were common, and reported better disease stabilization with combination treatments of topical corticosteroids with hydroxychloroquine or finasteride.

This case report highlights that frontal fibrosing alopecia may be underrecognized in young women and notes that no single treatment regimen has been proven consistently effective for this condition.

This study found that key amino acids lost from hair due to weathering can be successfully reintroduced through cosmetic treatments, improving hair strength and aesthetics.

This review discusses the potential usefulness and safety profile of oral antiandrogens for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting possible benefits but acknowledges that finasteride's efficacy remains uncertain.

This paper considers fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva as a segmental progeroid syndrome, which may help uncover mechanisms of normal aging and suggest targets for new treatments.

In this study, the researchers observed that treatment with intralesional and topical corticosteroids, finasteride, and minoxidil may stop the progression of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal and premenopausal women.

This article notes slow progression and spontaneous stabilization in untreated cases of a specific scarring alopecia and reports no new results; the authors call for randomized trials to confirm the treatment's benefit.

This study reports that most cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia did not show significant improvement with available treatments, and effective management remains unproven.

This review provides a detailed analysis of frontal fibrosing alopecia, focusing on its prevalence in postmenopausal Caucasian women, associated comorbidities, and potential autoimmune, genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors; it emphasizes the need for improved understanding to enhance diagnosis and treatment.

This study identifies specific trichoscopic features such as empty follicles and perifollicular erythema in Caucasians with frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may assist in diagnosis and monitoring, but stresses the need for further research due to limited demographic data.

This review discusses the non-follicular skin manifestations of frontal fibrosing alopecia and how they affect diagnosis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the possible immune-mediated and environmental factors contributing to frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for standardized treatment evaluations.

In this clinical experience, treating frontal fibrosing alopecia with oral finasteride, hydroxychloroquine, tacrolimus, and excimer laser was associated with optimal results in patients with active inflammation.

In this review, cosmetic practices such as non-ablative lasers, autologous fat injections, and oral isotretinoin may help alleviate certain symptoms of frontal fibrosing alopecia, while treatments like deep chemical peels and ablative laser therapies are contraindicated due to potential scarring risks.
