It is accompanied by partial alopecia of the eyebrows in most cases and loss of body hair in a variable number of patients. It is more frequent in postmenopausal women, although there have been reports of cases in men and premenopausal women. Histopathology shows it to be a variant of lichen planopilaris, which is characterized by a reduced number of hair follicles, a perifollicular lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate, and fibrosis. Few published studies describe the dermoscopic features of frontal fibrosing alopecia. We report the case of a 51-year-old woman who consulted with a 12-month history of hair loss at the frontal hairline. No other symptoms or associated diseases were present. Physical examination revealed a bald patch in the form of a band that delimited the hairline of the frontal region (Fig. 1). She also had partial alopecia of the eyebrows. The remaining findings were normal. The patient had previously taken high-potency topical corticosteroids and 2% minoxidil with no signs of improvement. Dermoscopy (Dermlite 00 multispectral) highlighted a marked reduction in the number of follicular ostia in the central area and erythema, perifollicular desquamation, and perifollicular blue-gray dots at the border of the patch (Fig. 2). A biopsy specimen was taken, and histopathology revealed a marked reduction in the density of the","PeriodicalId":391672,"journal":{"name":"Hair Disorders","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115104323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
