Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a lymphocyte-mediated primary cicatricial alopecia closely related to lichen planopilaris . Over time, the number of FFA reports has increased continuously, suggesting the implication of yet unidentified environmental factors. Several studies based on questionnaires have pointed out that leave-on facial skin care products, especially sunscreens, could be implicated in FFA . Here we report the detection of titanium dioxide (TiO ) along the hair shafts of a patient presenting FFA. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
