Therapeutic response of facial papules and inflammation in frontal fibrosing alopecia to low-dose oral isotretinoin
2020, JAAD Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :These various histologic findings raise the possibility of different types of papules involved in frontal fibrosing alopecia, or different stages of evolution of the same inflammatory process. It is possible that vellus hair follicles were present and destroyed by the inflammation, leaving only hypertrophic sebaceous glands that became raised because of an overlying atrophic epidermis.9,13 One proposed mechanism of action of isotretinoin therapy in treating facial papules is through the reduction of sebum production, sebaceous gland size, and colonization of propionibacterium acnes.
