A plausible hypothesis for the clinical pattern of frontal fibrosing alopecia: The persistence of residues of leave‐on facial products on hairline and eyebrows.

The article explores the potential link between residues of leave-on facial products and the clinical pattern of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). Through an experimental model involving healthy volunteers, the study found that residues of facial products tended to persist in areas commonly affected by FFA, such as the frontotemporal hairline and eyebrows. While the role of facial products in FFA pathogenesis remains controversial, the study provides a plausible hypothesis for the observed clinical pattern. The authors emphasize the need for further research in this area to better understand the relationship between facial skincare products and FFA. [Extracted from the article]
