“…The pathology was consistent with a lichenoid lymphocytic infiltrate of the vellus follicles. However, our findings are most consistent with the work of López-Pestaña et al [2] who described 9 patients with FFA presenting with perifollicular erythema of the forehead, glabella, eyebrows, and cheeks, with clinical images that are similar to the red dots in the net-like pattern on the chest seen in our 2 patients. In fact, their pathologic Figure 3b is identical to our pathologic findings, highlighting an interfollicular lichenoid infiltrate [2] .…”

“…The reticular pattern presented on dermoscopy is reminiscent of the reticulated pattern described for lichen planus pigmentosus. In addition, Lópes-Pestaña et al [2] reported on a patient who presented with an erythematous network on the face that gradually evolved into a pigmented network.…”

“…Facial lesions in FFA were first described by Abbas et al [11] in 2007, when he showed facial papules due to the involvement of vellus hair [12]. Later, in 2013, Dlova [5] reported her cases of facial LP pigmentosus associated with FFA; in 2014, Pirmez et al [13] described follicular red dots in the glabellar and forehead areas, and, in 2015, López-Pestaña et al [12] reported perifollicular and diffuse erythema and the gradual appearance of pigmented macules on facial skin, whose biopsies showed perifollicular and interfollicular lichenoid infiltrate.…”

The description of facial lesions in FFA shows us that FFA is not restricted to the scalp and that facial involvement can be the first sign of FFA, which allows us to make an early diagnosis of FFA.…”
