The study investigated protein expression in forehead epidermal corneocytes to distinguish between frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) and androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Samples from 5 FFA patients, 5 AGA patients, and 12 controls revealed that FFA had 72 proteins significantly different from controls, with most showing lower expression, while AGA had only 3 proteins significantly different. This suggests FFA affects protein expression systemically, beyond the scalp. The findings support non-invasive monitoring of FFA through forehead epidermis protein profiling, indicating a potential for better diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
