Clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution: a multicentre cohort study
Limitations of the study include its retrospective design and disparate treatments. FAPD may be prone to misdiagnosis because of overlapping clinicopathological features with androgenetic alopecia. A combination of anti-inflammatory (for example, topical corticosteroids) and hair growth-promoting agents (for example, topical or low-dose oral minoxidil) can stabilize the condition or even promote hair regrowth.
