Abstract
Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a form of cicatricial hair loss characterized by progressive recession of the frontotemporal hairline and affects mainly postmenopausal women. It is a clinically distinctive condition characterized by perifollicular erythema, follicular hyperkeratosis, and scarring. Eyebrow loss is frequently recorded; eyelashes and other body sites may also be involved. The etiology is still unknown, and it seems that there is no effective treatment proven with an appropriate level of evidence in the management of FFA.
