Frontal fibrosing alopecia can occur with lichen planus pigmentosus, needing careful diagnosis and treatment.

This study reports two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, suggesting it as a variant of lichen planopilaris due to similar histological findings yet distinct clinical presentation.

This review reported that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors were effective in stabilizing disease progression or reducing the rate of progression in some cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, though evidence on safety remains limited.

This study reports that variable environmental factors, including dietary habits, may contribute to the increasing incidence and diverse clinical presentations of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

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.

This article includes no new results; it discusses ongoing treatment approaches for frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

This study reports no new clinical results but suggests a potential relationship between frontal fibrosing alopecia and cutaneous conditions such as rosacea, indicating a need for further research.

In this study, trichoscopy consistently identified typical findings of frontal fibrosing alopecia, revealing three unusual clinical patterns in 18.4% of patients, which may aid in the differential diagnosis when clinical presentations are atypical.

The authors concluded that Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, facial papules, and premenopausal status in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia may indicate a susceptibility to more severe disease, potentially necessitating early treatment.

This case report suggests that frontal fibrosing alopecia with nail involvement may be associated with lichen planus and improved with oral dutasteride due to an inflammatory reaction related to androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the unclear etiology and potential contributing factors of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new clinical findings.

More inflammation leads to faster and worse hair loss in women with frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that hair transplantation is feasible in patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, but outcomes are generally less favorable compared to other causes and these diseases may also develop after the procedure.

This letter details a case report on platelet-rich plasma treatment for a patient with treatment-resistant frontal fibrosing alopecia, but it does not provide new clinical results.

This report discusses a series of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia experiencing increased scalp sweating, which the authors hypothesize may be related to local skin inflammation affecting sweat gland activity.

This paper presents consensus guidelines for standardized diagnostic criteria and assessment methods for frontal fibrosing alopecia to improve clinical research and data collection globally.

This review highlights current treatment options for frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting that 5-α-reductase inhibitors, intralesional steroids, and hydroxychloroquine have the highest evidence of effectiveness, while other therapies show variable results and need further research.
