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 review discusses the potential causes and treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research to understand its pathogenesis and develop validated treatments.

In this study, researchers reported that oral isotretinoin effectively treated facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia, with histopathologic findings suggesting the involvement of elastic fibers and sebaceous glands in papule formation beyond perifollicular inflammation.

This article reviews the complex challenges of managing scalp and cranial deformities post-trauma or surgery, advocating for better multidisciplinary approaches to enhance outcomes, but reports no new results.

This study found that men with frontal fibrosing alopecia exhibited more frequent facial papules, androgenetic alopecia, and body hair loss compared to women with the condition, and were generally older.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

In this study, low-dose naltrexone significantly reduced erythema in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris after one year, but no significant improvements were seen in other symptoms.

This study reports that frontal fibrosing alopecia in Brazilian patients is common in postmenopausal women and often associated with hypothyroidism and facial irritation from cosmetic products.

This article reviews the progress in hair biology research, including advancements in understanding androgen action, hair follicle stem cells, and autoimmune mechanisms in alopecia, and reports no new clinical results.

This article series reviews volumetric restoration techniques for different facial regions by expert authors, offering assessments of specific products but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that topical minoxidil 5% foam was effective in promoting hair growth in both the frontal and vertex scalp for men with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers identified 32 differentially expressed genes involved in androgenetic alopecia, with down-regulated genes associated with Wnt and TGF-beta signaling and up-regulated genes linked to oxidative stress pathways.

Testosterone was found to inhibit hair follicle epithelial cell proliferation in adult stumptailed macaques only when dermal papilla cells from bald scalps were present, and this effect was reversed by the antiandrogen RU 58841.

This study reported that about one-third of post-COVID-19 patients experienced long-term symptoms, with women, older individuals, smokers, and those with specific blood groups at higher risk for complications.

This article reports on a typical case of lichen planopilaris with foreign-body granulomas around hair shaft material, suggesting these may be an additional criterion for diagnosing late-stage LPP/FFA.

This narrative argues for the routine inclusion of hair restoration surgery in facial rejuvenation, noting the significant benefits for patients, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, the authors describe a rare presentation of alopecia areata mimicking frontal fibrosing alopecia, emphasizing the diagnostic value of trichoscopy and the need to consider alopecia areata in differential diagnoses.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

Increased sunscreen use may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia in Hispanic females.

This study found that 2-hair follicular unit grafts were the most common grouping in hair transplant procedures, with frontal edema as the most frequent postoperative complication.

This study found that dermoscopy of the axilla in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia revealed significantly higher odds of brownish peripillary halos, suggesting a diagnostic clue for the condition in this region.

In this study, the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia among Korean men and women was found to be lower than in caucasians, with Korean men showing more frontal hairline preservation and a higher incidence of 'female pattern' hair thinning.

This study describes the development of the BASP classification system, providing a universal and systematic approach for classifying pattern hair loss in both men and women.

Hair loss in women often doesn't follow a pattern, isn't linked to age, may be genetic, and can be related to thyroid issues or other health factors.

This study found diverse clinical presentations of lichen planopilaris, with classic lichen planopilaris being the most common, highlighting the importance of recognizing this variability for accurate diagnosis.

This case report details a 57-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia who developed hyperpigmentation after treatment with dutasteride and pimecrolimus, highlighting no previously reported hyperpigmentation association with this combination.

This article discusses managing extensive hair loss with limited transplant options and suggests a frontal forelock-type pattern is effective for both already bald men and younger patients at risk; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hydroxychloroquine significantly reduced disease activity in women with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris, particularly benefitting patients after 12 months of treatment.

This study found that women with frontal fibrosing alopecia have a significantly higher prevalence of rosacea compared to controls, particularly those with severe alopecia, and certain factors like perifollicular erythema, higher BMI, and lower progesterone levels were linked to increased rosacea risk.

This article discusses various hair diseases and emphasizes their significant impact despite affecting a small area, but does not report new clinical findings.
