Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 35-year-old African man who was diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). The man has developed an asymptomatic progressive recession of the frontal hairline with loss of follicular orifices and partial loss of both eyebrows. He was treated with hydroxychloroquine 200 mf twice per day for six months which slowed the progression of FFA.
