Annotation

The paper presents the cases of frontal fibrosing alopecias in two postmenopausal 
women. Frontal fibrosing alopecia is a lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia characterized 
by progressive recession of the frontotemporal hairline. The disease also commonly
causes loss of the eyebrows and loss of hair on the extremities. Histopathology is the 
gold-standard for diagnosis but not ideal for monitoring given the invasive nature.
