Abstract:
Frontal fibrosing alopecia is a scarring alopecia which typically affects the frontotemporal region of the scalp. Loss of hair in the other areas of the skin is present in the majority of cases. The condition is overrepresented among postmenopausal women, but men and premenopausal women can be affected as well. Our case is the first one described in the Danish literature. A 73-year-old woman had a typical presentation of the disease and responded well to treatment with hydroxychloroquine. We discuss clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and treatment modalities to this relatively newly described condition.
