Abstract
We applaud Debroy-Kidambi et al for repeating their questionnaire study in male patients to determine possible environmental exposures that could be contributing to the increasing incidence of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). In fact, in our own clinic we have noted that patients are often as interested in the possible causes of this condition as they are in available treatment methods. The discrepancy in facial moisturizer use between men with FFA compared to controls (94% versus 32%, p<0.0001) and the consistent use of primary sunscreens among FFA patients (35% versus 4%, p=0.0012) lends support to the hypothesis that a component of leave-on cosmetics may be contributing to the development of this condition.
