This consensus from 22 Spanish dermatologists recommends using a multimodal therapy starting with oral dutasteride, combined with topical and/or intralesional agents, and adding hydroxychloroquine if inflammation persists, to manage frontal fibrosing alopecia due to its irreversible hair loss and lack of specific approved treatments.

This article discusses the role of hair restoration surgeons in balancing various aspects of their practice, but it reports no new results.

This study found that trichoscopy is an effective noninvasive technique for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia, confirming its valuable role alongside traditional histopathological examination.

This review discusses the possible link between cosmeceuticals and frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no conclusive findings; the authors stress further research on environmental triggers is needed.

This study found that in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, combining topical tacrolimus with isotretinoin is more effective after four weeks of treatment compared to tacrolimus with finasteride, though both regimens offered some benefit.

This study observed that testosterone inhibits hair follicle epithelial cell proliferation in adult stumptailed macaques only when dermal papilla cells from bald scalps are present, with antiandrogen RU 58841 reversing this effect.

This study presents a validated questionnaire, the FFA-QLI, which effectively assesses and differentiates the quality of life impact among patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, showing greater sensitivity in identifying severe cases than the DLQI.

This report describes the first known case of frontal fibrosing alopecia in a genetically unrelated couple, suggesting the potential role of environmental factors in its development.

This case report describes two brothers with an unusual, possibly treatment-resistant inflammatory variant of androgenic alopecia, featuring follicular isthmic lymphocytic inflammation and diffuse central scalp hair loss.

This article argues against the widespread use of isolated frontal forelock hair transplantation for most patients, suggesting more extensive coverage is often a reasonable option.

This review discusses the various factors implicated in the etiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and notes the need for effective treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study reports the prescribing preferences of UK dermatologists for treating various hair loss conditions, noting that topical corticosteroids for mild to moderate alopecia areata and topical minoxidil for female pattern hair loss are commonly used first-line treatments.

This study aimed to assess pruritus in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, analyzing its correlation with dermoscopic features, but it reports no specific clinical results.

This review discusses various therapeutic options for frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the need for more research, as existing data are largely retrospective and lack precise treatment guidelines.

This study found that oral isotretinoin significantly reduced symptoms in nearly 90% of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, affecting both facial papules and hair loss.

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.

This review discusses treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris, noting that systemic 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are most effective for stabilization and potential hair regrowth, but reports no new clinical results.

This report on individuals with AEBP1-related classical-like EDS confirmed previous findings and identified hair loss as a potential characteristic feature of this rare condition for the first time. Additionally, cardiovascular complications observed in some individuals suggest that cardiovascular monitoring may be necessary.

This study found that two years after treatment, the continuous-wave Sharplan 40C SilkTouch laser system led to better collagen organization compared to the pulsed Coherent 5000C UltraPulse system in patients who underwent skin resurfacing.

This study reports two cases of hair loss outcomes in patients using dupilumab for atopic dermatitis, with one showing improvement in alopecia universalis and another experiencing worsening of alopecia totalis.

This review explores the similarities between wound healing, palatogenesis, and orofacial clefting, suggesting these processes share common pathways and genetic regulatory mechanisms, but reports no new experimental results.

This paper presents two cases of rare intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations and discusses their clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and management, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study identified two novel genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease in APOE ε4 non-carriers, revealing insights into the disease's underlying regulatory mechanisms.

This study presents two cases correlating the clinical appearance of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy with optical coherence tomography findings, describing the location of the yellow vitelliform material.

This study found that both methotrexate and azathioprine were equally effective and well-tolerated in improving symptoms of lichen planopilaris over six months, with no significant difference between the two treatments in terms of efficacy.

This report describes two cases of thallium poisoning with gastrointestinal symptoms, peripheral neuropathy, and alopecia, which were effectively treated using activated charcoal, potassium chloride, and hemodialysis.

This article discusses two cases of follicular dyskeratosis (Darier-White disease), highlighting its rare occurrence, genetic basis, and the challenges in diagnosis and treatment; it presents no new experimental results.

This review describes an improved scalp reduction technique that removes two to three times more bald skin than previous methods, utilizing wide undermining, serial relaxing incisions, and adrenocorticosteroids.

In this study, researchers successfully established immortalized human frontal and occipital scalp dermal papilla cell lines from androgenetic alopecia patients, observing distinct gene expression, androgen receptor levels, and hair follicle growth effects between these regions, which may help advance hair loss research and therapeutic development.

This article presents an update on a family with Coats' plus disorder, documenting additional symptoms and two new similar cases, and reviews literature suggesting a link to dyskeratosis congenita for potential molecular insights.
