| Popis: | Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a primary progressive cicatricial alopecia of the frontal, temporal, or frontotemporal scalp. In FFA, hairline recession, scalp pruritus, perifollicular erythema, and eyebrow loss are common at presentation. At present, there are no evidence-based treatment guidelines for FFA; hence, adopted modalities of treatment vary among clinicians. This review is an overview of the disease characteristics and the available therapeutic options in FFA. |
