Facial lesions in frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA): Clinicopathological features in a series of 12 cases

On facial skin of patients with FFA, we can observe papules or perifollicular erythema secondary to vellus hair follicle involvement. We describe diffuse erythema, owing to follicular and interfollicular lichenoid infiltrate, and the gradual appearance of pigmented macules, which could be secondary to an increased epidermal pigmentation or to pigmentary incontinence.
