Clinical Screening & Self-Assessment Tool
A structured pre-clinical triage questionnaire designed to detect hallmark indicators of cicatricial (scarring) hairline regression, guiding prompt referral for dermoscopy and histology.
This self-assessment tool is not intended for medical diagnostic purposes. The results provided are strictly for personal self-reference and educational awareness only. For an accurate clinical evaluation, dermoscopy, or biopsy, we strongly advise consulting directly with a board-certified dermatologist or qualified medical physician.

Tubular hyperkeratotic collars encircling the base of hair shafts along the active marginal hairline, representing lichenoid infundibular inflammation.
Complete absence of follicular openings, yielding a distinctively smooth, uniform, porcelain-white cicatricial band devoid of vellus hairs.
Subtle to prominent pink-red flush encircling active follicles at the borderline, signifying active lichen planopilaris-type lymphocytic infiltrate.
Marked reduction of multi-hair follicular units (follicular grouping loss), often leaving solitary isolated terminal strands ("Lonely Hair Sign").
Detailed clinical review description.
FFA must be distinguished from Traction Alopecia (which retains follicular openings and often shows a "fringe sign"), Female Pattern Hair Loss (preserving the frontal edge with central widening), and Classic Lichen Planopilaris (which tends to produce patchy vertex cicatricial plaques rather than a band-like frontal regression).
