Frontal fibrosing alopecia can affect African men and may be underdiagnosed.

This study found that men with frontal fibrosing alopecia were more likely to have facial papules, androgenetic alopecia, and body hair loss compared to women, with the average patient age being higher than in other series, potentially explaining these differences.

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of distinguishing folliculotropic mycosis fungoides from alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris, emphasizing the importance of histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Patients with Focal Dermal Hypoplasia often experience skin, nail, hair, and bone issues, and may benefit from calcium and vitamin D supplements.

This study examined the application of new clinical guidelines for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia in 18 men, highlighting that current diagnostic criteria may often overlook early beard involvement and sideburn recession.
