Certain commercial dermatology products may be associated with risk for frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), according to study data published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
In a cohort study of Brazilian adults, FFA was associated with formalin hair straightening and regular use of facial soap and moisturizers. However, FFA was not associated with use of sunscreen, as proposed in other studies of alopecia.
