Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia is a type of hair loss that primarily affects the front and sides of the scalp. It is characterized by a progressive thinning of hair, often accompanied by a receding hairline. This condition is more common in postmenopausal women, but it can also occur in men and younger individuals.
The exact cause of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia is not well understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder. In this condition, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to inflammation and hair loss. Treatment options may include topical medications, corticosteroids, and other therapies to manage symptoms.
