An additional common finding is keratotic papules on the face or (less commonly) on the trunk and extremities. The histopathology of the facial keratotic papules associated with FFA is the same as that of lichen planopilaris. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSIONS: Facial papules, androgenetic alopecia, and loss of body hair are more often observed in men with FFA than in women. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia with characteristic clinical pattern of progressive frontotemporal hairline recession, perifollicular erythema and hyperkeratosis and symptoms of itch and burning, occurring [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Histopathologically, perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate and follicular hyperkeratosis are observed at the edge of the affected area, while the rest of the lesion appears pale with loss of the follicular ostia. [orpha.net]

Histopathologically, perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate and follicular hyperkeratosis are observed at the edge of the affected area, while the rest of the lesion appears pale with loss of the follicular ostia. [orpha.net]

Follicular hyperkeratosis and erythema were present in 66%, and only 25% of the men reported pruritus. The most commonly prescribed treatments were topical: corticosteroids in 8 patients (66%) and minoxidil in 4 (33%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Polarized videodermoscopy (EScope; Nakoda, 20) revealed honeycombing of the scalp skin and multiple white dots representing absence of follicular openings, follicular hyperkeratosis and plugging, perifollicular scaling, and erythema [Figure 2]. [idoj.in]

Classic symptoms include erythema, follicular hyperkeratosis and progressive recession of the frontotemporal hairline [ 1 ]. Currently, there is no treatment of choice and because of the scarring nature, the aim is to stop progression. [karger.com]

These entities are clinically different; nevertheless, the literature suggests that FFA represents a form of LPP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] of a perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate may also suggest an autoimmune process.18 Our study neither supports nor refutes that LPP and FFA could be autoimmune diseases. [touchendocrinology.com]

Histologic evaluation of pigmented macules sometimes exhibited an increased epidermal pigmentation and on occasions, pigmentary incontinence. LIMITATIONS: More patients are needed to determine the prevalence of these lesions in FFA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A skin biopsy specimenshowed a perivascular, lymphocytic infiltrate withperiinfundibular fibrosis. These findings establisheda diagnosis of frontal fibrosing alopecia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Histopathologically, perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate and follicular hyperkeratosis are observed at the edge of the affected area, while the rest of the lesion appears pale with loss of the follicular ostia. [orpha.net]

Other associations include HLA-DR1, which seems to be correlated with peptide anchorage and presentation of specific T helper lymphocytes. [14] HLA testing revealed HLA DRB1*(04,13), DQB1*(03:02,06) in both patients, supporting the idea that these diseases [ijdvl.com]

Familial lichen planus is uncommon, the prevalence has been reported to be 1.5% [11] and 28 pedigrees have been reported. [12] Copeman et al. [13] found an association of HLA-B7 in familial cases but not in sporadic cases. [ijdvl.com]
