A new study published in JAMA Dermatology suggests a possible connection between the use of oral contraceptives (OCPs) and the development of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), a type of hair loss that causes irreversible hair loss, especially in postmenopausal women.
Research conducted by a team of experts has identified a specific gene (CYP1B1) that, when combined with the use of OCPs, can significantly increase the risk of developing FFA. This finding is crucial as it demonstrates that both genetic and environmental factors, such as the use of contraceptives, can influence the onset of this condition.
What does this mean for you?
If you are experiencing hair loss or have concerns about the potential side effects of using contraceptives, it is crucial to seek medical advice. Frontal fibrosing alopecia can have various causes, and an accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
