This review hypothesizes that excessive facial photo-protection may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia by disrupting immunological homeostasis through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-kynurenine pathway, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article questions whether frontal fibrosing alopecia and fibrosing androgeneic patterned hair loss are overlapping conditions or stages of the same process, calling for further research to clarify their underlying factors.

This study observed that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution shows varied histological features and may resemble lichen planopilaris with initial diffuse distribution, potentially leading to scarring alopecia.

This study found a high concordance between subject-reported and clinician-reported Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes, but 14% of subjects misjudged their skin type, often overestimating it.

This article discusses the case of a 59-year-old woman with a history of progressive facial hyperpigmentation and explores potential connections between her condition and her family history, but reports no clinical findings.

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.

According to this review, frontal fibrosing alopecia in men exhibits unique clinical features and is often misdiagnosed, underscoring the need for validated diagnostic criteria and treatment evaluation.

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 review discusses the current understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of female pattern hair loss and reports no new research results.

This prospective study in Morocco reported on 20 cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that dermoscopy played a key role in diagnosing and managing the condition, which can increasingly affect premenopausal women.

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 letter to the editor describes a case of postcast hypertrichosis in a patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new research findings.

This study found that the novel powered FUE (P-FUE) technique reduced harvesting time and graft transection rates in hair restoration compared to manual FUE, with broader patient applicability.

This review discusses the potential link between contact allergy and frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting the presence of implicated allergens in current literature, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the characteristics and pathogenesis of pseudofolliculitis barbae, particularly its prevalence in men of African and Asian descent, but presents no new research findings.

This review found that current forensic DNA phenotyping panels for biogeographical ancestry and visible traits face significant limitations due to inconsistencies in terminology, genetic understanding, and genotyping technologies, highlighting the need for harmonization and further research.

This article reviews current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris, highlighting increasing incidence and unclear pathogenesis, and emphasizes the role of inflammatory destruction of hair follicular stem cells; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this report, researchers described a 36-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia resistant to standard treatments, who showed significant improvement after six months on a combination of intralesional betamethasone and oral hydroxychloroquine, suggesting potential benefits of this therapy approach in managing the condition.

This study reported no significant improvement in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia treated with various therapeutic agents, highlighting the need for more evidence-based treatments, especially in those with active disease.

This hypothesis article explores frontal fibrosing alopecia as a potential autoimmune condition and calls for future research to investigate this possibility, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reports a case of frontal fibrosing alopecia in its early inflammatory stage that responded positively to intralesional steroid treatment.

This study found that early intervention and treatment with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide may stabilize hairline recession in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, although further research is needed for definitive treatment guidelines.

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 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 study found that sunscreen and moisturizer use was associated with a higher likelihood of developing frontal fibrosing alopecia in the reviewed studies.

This article proposes renaming frontal fibrosing alopecia to frontal fibrosing alopecia syndrome to better reflect its varied presentations and enhance understanding and treatment approaches.

This study found that the revised BASP classification for pattern hair loss, which addresses certain limitations of the original, could serve as an alternative option despite a decrease in clinical accuracy and ease of use.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This case report describes frontal fibrosing alopecia in a woman with primary biliary cirrhosis and polymyalgia rheumatica, suggesting a possible autoimmune link to this form of hair loss.

This study observed that abnormal hormone levels were associated with lower disease activity in frontal fibrosing alopecia, while thyroid disorders were a common comorbidity among the affected population.
