Resumen
QUINTANA-SANCHO, A. de; PIRIS-GARCIA, X.; VALLE-GARCIA, N. y HIERRO-CAMARA, M.. Frontal fibrosing alopecia: a pathology on the rise. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2016, vol.39, n.3, pp.443-446. ISSN 1137-6627.
Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring alopecia whose incidence is increasing significantly in our country. It is characterized by loss of frontotemporal hairline that mostly affects postmenopausal women, with a negative impact on quality of life. It is associated with early menopause in 14% of cases and hypothyroidism in 15%. With regard to treatment, 5α-reductase inhibitors are the drugs that have shown improvement of the disease in a larger number of cases. We report a new case of FFA in a woman of 77 years successfully treated with finasteride at doses of 2.5mg daily.
