abstract

  • Introduction: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring, lymphocytic alopecia, first described in 1994. Although the ethiology and pathogenesis still unclear and multiple factors arise, including the use of hair and facial care products. The aim of this report is to provide a compilation about the published data regarding frontal fibrosing alopecia and the use of these products, in people, without age restriction. Methodology: A scoping review was performed, according to the Joanna Briggs Institute-JBI manual for evidence synthesis. Bibliographic search in the databases: Pubmed, OVID, BVS, Cochrane, epistemonikos and Google scholar and manual by snowball, with no date or language limits, peer review with Rayyan software. Matrix tabulation and extraction of results with the following variables: publication data, population characteristics (age, background), use of facial and hair products. Results: Initially, were found 1216 articles. Once reviewed and excluded due to duplication or not being related to the objective, 44 final articles were obtained, 12 articles were added by manual search, for a total of 56 articles. Information was organized by type of study, exposure to facial and hair products, and the identification of molecules of interest. Conclusion: Despite the fact that the level of evidence of most of the studies collected is low, 73.2% associate FFA with the use of some facial or hair product, which raises controversy about the type of products that should be used for facial skin and hair care, requiring more studies with a higher level of scientific evidence, especially in the specific identification of the molecules that can lead to the development of FFA.
