Abstract in brief

The study examined 151 women with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) to identify common trichoscopy findings on the eyebrows, revealing signs like yellow dots, pinpoint dots, short thin hairs, black dots, and dystrophic hairs.
Although FFA causes scarring hair loss, the eyebrow trichoscopy mainly shows features typical of non-scarring hair loss, such as black dots and broken hairs, which can sometimes cause confusion with alopecia areata.
Limitations of the study include no comparison with healthy individuals or other hair conditions, and a lack of biopsy correlation, so findings should be interpreted with caution.]
