- W4321015920 abstract "Introduction. Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is known as a lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia. The main characteristic of FFA is progressive frontotemporal hairline recession. The pathogenesis of FFA is not completely understood. Destructing the stem cells of the epithelial hair follicles causes permanent hair loss and seems to be the main cause of FFA. Studies have reported significantly decreased quality of life in patients with hair loss. On the other hand, late diagnosis and treatment of FFA can decrease the success rate of the treatment. In this regard, different topical and systemic therapies have been developed to resolve the symptoms; however, only a partial response to treatment is usually achieved. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify the effectiveness of the available treatment modalities used for FFA patients and the related outcomes. Methods. On April 2022, we made a wide systematic computer-assisted search of PubMed and Google Scholar databases, using “frontal fibrosing alopecia” and “treatment” keywords. We scanned 1,514 articles. All the studies concerning a therapeutic regimen for FFA were included. After removing duplicate studies, 50 studies containing the therapeutic regimen of 1,478 FFA patients were included in this review. Results. The 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (oral finasteride/dutasteride) were the most used medications (usually prescribed as a combination therapy with other medications). Topical corticosteroids were the second commonly used medication for the treatment of FFA. Systemic corticosteroids seem to be ineffective in improving FFA progression. Oral isotretinoin (or alitretinoin) had the most promising effect on improving facial papules of FFA patients with a 92% rate of facial papule improvement. Conclusion. In our review, intralesional corticosteroid injection and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (finasteride/dutasteride) were reported as the most effective treatment modalities. Oral isotretinoin (or alitretinoin) is considered as the most promising treatment for improving facial papules in the context of FFA. However, it had minimal effects on hair regrowth or stabilization of hairline recession in FFA patients." @default.
