Abstract

Background: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring, immune-mediated follicular scalp disease. Researchers have postulated that there is a hormonal and genetic etiology since FFA most commonly affects postmenopausal Caucasian women. Recently, dermatologists have reported cases of FFA as being potentially caused by using skin and hair products. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis intends to be the first to analyze the relationship between FFA and personal care products. Methods: The Cochrane, PubMed, EMBASE, and Medline databases were searched for relevant studies from the date of inception to June 2021.
