Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Severity Index (FFASI): A Call for a More Inclusive and Globally Relevant Severity Index for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

Abstract

We read with interest the article by Holmes et al,¹ published in the February 2016 edition of the British Journal of Dermatology, and associated comments by Saceda-Corralo et al.²

We would like to congratulate all the above authors for addressing this important topic. Nevertheless, we would like to raise a few additional points about the proposed severity index for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA), which may assist in making it more culturally inclusive and globally relevant, especially for patients of African and/or South Asian descent.
