Prognosis, treatment, and disease outcomes in frontal fibrosing alopecia: A retrospective review of 92 cases

To the Editor: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a cicatricial alopecia affecting the frontal and temporal hairlines.1 The incidence of this condition is increasing, and currently, little is known about the  likelihood of stabilization, factors affecting prognosis, and the preferred treatment approach.2-4 With institutional review board approval, we reviewed the records of FFA patients with at least 3 months of follow-up and tracked patient progress at each visit by assessing hairline measurements (f rom the outer canthi or glabella to frontal hairline) and using trichoscopy (100× magnification).
