The eyebrows are an important facial feature that shape one's physical appearance and play a role in non-verbal communication. Partial or complete eyebrow loss is seen in most patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). Despite the scarring nature of FFA, eyebrow hair regrowth has been previously reported. Nevertheless, treatment options and supporting evidence remain scarce.
We report eyebrow regrowth in 7 patients with FFA treated with low-dose oral minoxidil (OM).
Low-dose OM could be a promising adjunctive therapy for treatment of the eyebrows in patients with FFA, particularly in early disease.
眉毛是重要的面部特征,塑造着一个人的外貌,并在非语言交流中发挥作用。大多数额部纤维性秃发(FFA)患者会出现部分或完全眉毛脱落。尽管FFA具有瘢痕性,但此前已有眉毛毛发再生的报道。然而,治疗选择和支持证据仍然很少。
我们报告了7例接受低剂量口服米诺地尔(OM)治疗的FFA患者眉毛再生的情况。
低剂量OM可能是治疗FFA患者眉毛的一种有前景的辅助疗法,尤其是在疾病早期。
