Abstract in brief

The review discusses limited but existing research on medical treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), mainly consisting of case reports and cohort studies, assessing therapies like intralesional steroids and 5-reductase inhibitors which showed the most promising results.
Common treatments include intralesional steroids and 5-reductase inhibitors, with high response rates (about 88%), while other options like oral prednisone, topical steroids, antibiotics, pioglitazone, and hair transplants are less frequently used or studied.
Due to the natural variability in FFA progression and lack of standardized outcome measures, early treatment is recommended in active cases to potentially slow or modify hair loss, although the disease can sometimes stabilize without intervention.]
