Frontal fibrosing alopecia

[@CamilaAzziniDermatologia]

Thanks, for this outstanding class!!!

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

Thank you 😊

I came across another study about male baldness and it's association with tight facial muscles brought on from stress and the theory was that the muscles in a man's face and forehead is causing the root follicles to close from the tightening, hence the tight glossy look they get on the head. I then was wondering if maybe teeth grinding causes severe tightening of the facial/ forehead and temple muscles causing follicles to close. Both my mother and I severely grind our teeth and we both have severe frontal hair loss. It's just a thought.

Hi Lidia! I was wondering. Do you think hair transplantation on the eyebrows works for patients with Alopecia universalis?

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

I would not do it

[@sweetstrawberry0309]

Dzień dobry! Ja z kolei chciałam zapytać, w jaki sposób Pani Profesor nauczyła się angielskiego? Bardzo dobrze się Pani Profesor słucha

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

Bardzo dziękuję 🌺. To efekt działań moich rodziców, gdy byłam dzieckiem 😉. Potem kilka lat pracowałam w Uniwersytecie Jeffersona w Filadelfii, wiec trochę złapałam bardziej „dorosłego” słownictwa. 😊

I’m a male with FFA, loss of eyebrows, temporal hair, side burns and beard.

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

It is quite rare… Good luck with good treatment!

[@jonessaetienne590]

I was diagnosed with ffa and though I am losing my eyebrows, it is not growing in different ways. I also get bald patches in areas other than the front and they grow back but, so far in the frontal part, I have lost a lot to the top of my crown and temple areas, I'm 26 years old. I'm unsure for certain if it is ffa, how can I be 100 sure ?

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

A dermatologist can usually make a 100% diagnosis. FFA is a disease in the spectrum of LPP (lichen planopilaris) so LPP may coexist outside the frontal area. In general every two diseases may coexist in the same person, so lesions in the vertex area do not exclude the existence of FFA. I wish you good luck with your hair problem.

[@jonessaetienne590]

Thank You !

[@niamhbyrne4036]

Hi has any treatment helped? Thanks

[@jonessaetienne590]

@@niamhbyrne4036 nothing is working but there are things that make it worse. In my case gluten, stress and inflammation. I keep my hair low or off

[@cmonnowsis]

When did you start losing your eyebrows? During the early stages? Did you notice brow loss before hair loss?

[@hairsolutionsbychrissy637]

I love your videos! can you please tell me if you have ever treated FFA with growth factors or laser therapy. I have a client who has had steroid injections For 6 months With no success.

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

These methods do not treat FFA. It is possible that as addition to regular treatment they may support keeping the hair thickness, but they have no treat FFA

[@hairsolutionsbychrissy637]

@@profLidiaRudnicka what is the best treatment for ffa?

[@silvanafak8450]

Dr Lidia, My daughter has this condition she was 19 yrs old when she developed it, initially we thought it was traction alopecia, do you think having hair transplant to that area will help Thanks

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

I regret, I can not help in individual situations, where I don't see the person and I don't know the medical details

[@nikitajames6517]

hey , I'm from south Afrika and 17 years old. Would the newly approved olumiant treatment have better results than the azathioprine I've been on for 7 months. The azathioprine is not showing much results and my dokter says its the same. Is there a difference in your opinion?

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

On the basis of statistical analysis is should work better, but every person is different. The new drug is now approved only in USA and is much more expensive compared to azatioprine

Thank you professor . But we need to hear about treatments not we know what is it z

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

I fully understand you. I give more details on treatment at dermatological conferences. These videos are public and I try to make sure that they are not interpreted as „instruction” for treatment, as - as you know - every patient is and every situation is different.

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

Yes, this happens often in FFA. Please take a look at my newer version of theFFA video: Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5fHnIWead-ipNU

I treat mine with wigs.

[@profLidiaRudnicka]

This is also an option, especially in the chronic form of alopecia areata
