This case report describes the first observed instance of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a child, suggesting the condition is not solely androgen dependent.

A 64-year-old man had a rare skin cancer near his ear, unresponsive to antibiotics, with specific skin and hair follicle changes.

This review suggests that excessive facial photoprotection could play a role in frontal fibrosing alopecia through a disturbance in immunological balance via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-kynurenine pathway.
