This study adds evidence suggesting a genetic component to frontal fibrosing alopecia, with daughters experiencing an earlier onset than their mothers, although the clinical pattern remains similar to non-familial cases.

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 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 study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia also occurs in men, with clinical features and areas of involvement similar to those seen in women, but often affecting sideburns and facial hair.

The woman's skin and hair symptoms were confirmed as frontal fibrosing alopecia, and while facial papules are common in such cases, there's no effective local treatment, but systemic treatments can help.

This case report describes three pediatric cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition typically seen in postmenopausal women, including a unique instance involving female twins.

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 study identified FP-1 as a highly specific extracellular matrix protein in follicular papilla cells, which may play a role in hair growth regulation during specific hair cycle phases.

This study from North-East India analyzed 21 cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting a high prevalence in post-menopausal women and distinct histological features such as perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate and hydropic degeneration.

Contact allergies might contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that facial papules and rosacea in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia were linked to a greater need for oral treatment, with most cases involving postmenopausal women.

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.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia may be caused by an autoimmune reaction and hormonal imbalance.

This case study discusses a postmenopausal woman's frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planus pigmentosus, controlled with corticosteroids and finasteride, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in scarring alopecia.

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 meta-analysis found a significant positive association between frontal fibrosing alopecia and both sunscreen and moisturizer use, with the moisturizer association significant only in males.

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 reported that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution can occur in patients of color, with clinical and histopathological features allowing for an accurate differential diagnosis.

In this case series, researchers reported on the clinical characteristics and treatment approaches for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in four cases, emphasizing the importance of early identification and intervention to manage this scarring hair loss disorder that primarily affects the frontal hairline and eyebrows.

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 Egyptian women with frontal fibrosing alopecia had lower serum PPARγ levels and a higher occurrence of PPARG gene polymorphism compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role for PPARγ in the condition's development.

The study suggests hormonal factors may play a role in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and that treatments like oral antiandrogens and steroids could be beneficial.

This study observed that combining high-potency steroids with pimecrolimus might effectively stabilize hairline recession in frontal fibrosing alopecia patients.

This review discusses the enigmatic nature of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no clinical results; the authors stress the need for further research.

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 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.

This study observed an alopecia syphilitica-like pattern of hair loss in a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting it may be another atypical presentation of the condition.

Among patients with biopsy-proven FAPD in specialized hair clinics, this study found the condition is common in females around 52.5 years old, with treatment generally stabilizing or slightly improving hair loss, despite challenges in differentiating FAPD from androgenetic alopecia.

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.

In this retrospective study, researchers at a Spanish hospital found that the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia, primarily affecting postmenopausal women, was correlated with the duration of the disease, though inflammatory signs were not linked with its progression.
