This report discusses a series of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia experiencing increased scalp sweating, which the authors hypothesize may be related to local skin inflammation affecting sweat gland activity.

This study evaluated 129 patients with androgenetic alopecia and identified an inflammatory pattern of perifollicular infiltration linked to treatment resistance. Targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved outcomes for 67% of patients, suggesting inflammation may play a role in some cases of stubborn hair loss.

Targeting immune pathways like JAK/STAT may help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study identified two distinct trichoscopic patterns in the mid-frontal scalp of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who also display clinical features of androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers analyzed trichoscopy findings in black patients with FFA to aid in precise diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the importance of understanding disease characteristics to improve hair care in this group.

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.

This case report describes a 54-year-old man diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, presenting with follicular inflammatory lesions and scleroatrophy on the scalp.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study found that scalp micropigmentation improved esthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction in scarring alopecia, particularly in conditions with less fibrosis like frontal fibrosing alopecia and traction 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 report discusses cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing after hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article updates a diagnostic tool (SALT II) for assessing hair loss by adding more precise measurements of scalp surface area, particularly useful for various types of alopecia.

This report describes two patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who developed acute hair loss on their limbs, revealing that the limb alopecia had similar histological features to scalp alopecia.

This paper proposes a systematic approach to evaluating scalp itch using the SCALLP acronym and highlights the importance of classifying cases based on the presence of dermatological lesions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia is increasingly diagnosed in Italian Caucasian females, often showing premenopausal onset and eyebrow alopecia as an early sign.

This study reports two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, suggesting it as a variant of lichen planopilaris due to similar histological findings yet distinct clinical presentation.

This article is a letter to the editor about fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and reports no new research findings.

This case report describes an atypical presentation of alopecia areata in a 53-year-old postmenopausal woman, which may resemble frontal fibrosing alopecia and complicate diagnosis.

This comprehensive literature review highlighted that lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, both primary scarring alopecias, are diagnosed via scalp biopsy, with no standardized treatments available, necessitating individualized therapeutic approaches based on patient characteristics.

This article discusses the features and increasing prevalence of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a type of scarring hair loss, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report documents the rare occurrence of lipedematous scalp in two black Caribbean female siblings, suggesting a potential genetic factor and noting psychiatric co-morbidities as novel associations.

This review examines the various potential causes of bitemporal hair loss, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis to prevent further hair loss in scarring conditions; it reports no new clinical results.

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 that dissecting cellulitis of the scalp was more common in young men, with an association between longer disease duration and increased severity, but no link between age and severity.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia had higher long-term remission rates compared to lichen planopilaris, highlighting differences in their clinical presentations and outcomes.

In this case study, a 24-year-old woman with frontal alopecia resembling frontal fibrosing alopecia was ultimately diagnosed with primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma, highlighting the critical role of biopsy in identifying atypical alopecia presentations.

This article discusses the characteristics, diagnosis, and clinical presentation of different variants of lichen planopilaris on the scalp, with emphasis on cicatricial alopecia and the importance of clinical and trichoscopic monitoring; it presents no new clinical results.

This discussion highlights the evolving clinical spectrum of lichen planopilaris, noting atypical features and presentations in younger males that suggest potential different pathomechanisms from previously recognized variants.

This review discusses the evolving understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia as a generalized skin condition with diverse manifestations, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that certain circulating miRNAs in skin and plasma may serve as potential biomarkers for distinguishing frontal fibrosing alopecia from control cases, highlighting the need for further validation in larger cohorts.
