Frontal fibrosing alopecia can affect men's beards and leads to permanent hair loss.

The hydrogel helps heal wounds without scars by releasing two drugs gradually.

This case report describes a young man with rapidly progressive cicatricial alopecia that shows features overlapping several other types, suggesting these conditions may exist on a spectrum.

This case report describes a unique presentation of frontal fibrosing alopecia characterized by a hair loss pattern that resembles the Greek letter upsilon, supported by trichoscopic and histological findings.

The document concludes that a woman has both Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Simplex Chronicus, a previously unreported combination of conditions.
