Frontal fibrosing alopecia.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a patterned primary cicatricial alopecia that was first described in 1994. Once rare, the incidence of FFA has increased dramatically, representing the current most common cause of cicatricial alopecia worldwide. FFA typically begins in postmenopausal women with symmetrical, progressive recession of the frontotemporal hairline together with bilateral loss of the eyebrows.
