Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely the same disease with different clinical appearances.

This review addresses the challenges in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting the limited effectiveness of medical treatments and the demand for hair transplantation despite its risks, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study reviewed 18 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss, often treated with steroids, triamcinolone, and other medications.

This report describes the first known pediatric cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition typically affecting postmenopausal women, highlighting its occurrence in children including female twins.

In this case report, a female patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen scleroatrophicus vulvae experienced excellent results from hair microtransplants combined with finasteride and topical minoxidil, maintained over six years.

This study found that eyelash loss, facial papules, and body hair involvement were linked to severe frontal fibrosing alopecia, and antiandrogens were the most effective treatment.

This study found that progressive frontal hairline recession in postmenopausal women may exhibit features similar to fibrosing alopecia, with histologic similarities to lichen planopilaris but lacking lesions of lichen planus.

This study reports that progressive frontal fibrosing alopecia, a distinct and gradually stabilizing form of lichen planopilaris affecting elderly women and often involving eyebrow hair loss, lacks effective treatments.

This study observed that progressive frontal recession in postmenopausal women may exhibit features of fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a distinct reaction pattern from typical lichen planopilaris.

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.

In this study, hydroxychloroquine significantly reduced signs and symptoms of frontal fibrosing alopecia after 6 months of treatment, with maximal benefits observed within the first 6 months.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women, can be associated with lichen planus, and may lead to progressive hairline recession, though this progression is not consistent in all cases.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris have similar histopathological features, but FFA exhibits more prominent apoptosis and less inflammation with spared interfollicular epidermis.

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 study identified significant genetic associations with frontal fibrosing alopecia at four genomic loci, suggesting it is a genetically predisposed immuno-inflammatory disorder influenced by the HLA-B*07: 02 allele.

This study found that early intervention and treatment with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide may stabilize hairline recession in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, although further research is needed for definitive treatment guidelines.

This study reported that while various treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia showed limited effectiveness, dutasteride most effectively stabilized the condition among patients at Duke University.

This case report describes the first known instance of fibrosing alopecia associated with cutaneous lichen planus, suggesting fibrosing alopecia may be a variant of lichen planopilaris.

This report suggests a causal connection between hyaluronic acid filler injections and the development of xanthelasma, possibly through an inflammatory reaction that increases vascular permeability and LDL leakage.

This review discusses the roles of interferon-γ and PPAR-γ-mediated signalling in scarring alopecia, suggesting these pathways as potential therapeutic targets, but it reports no new empirical results.

This study classified frontal fibrosing alopecia patients into three clinical patterns, finding that pattern III had the best prognosis and pattern II the worst after treatment with dutasteride and corticosteroids.

Oral dutasteride and topical pimecrolimus can safely and effectively treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, leading to significant hair regrowth.

This review discusses what is known about the pathobiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting potential environmental and genetic factors in disease pathogenesis.

This article discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting potential connections to lichen planopilaris, but reports no new clinical findings.

This report discusses cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing after hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study observed that abnormal hormone levels were associated with lower disease activity in frontal fibrosing alopecia, while thyroid disorders were a common comorbidity among the affected population.

This article appears to be a table of contents or navigation page for a journal, not presenting any new findings or research results.

In this study, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was associated with eyebrow regrowth in some patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This report from the UK reviews the literature on post-menopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights its under-recognition and distinctive characteristics compared to lichen planopilaris, but does not provide new results.

This study suggests that trichoscopic features, such as perifollicular erythema and cicatricial white patches, are independently associated with pruritus and the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia.
