Re: The increasing incidence of frontal fibrosing alopecia. In search of triggering factors

Abstract

It was with disappointment we discovered on reading the commentary by Rudnicka and Rakowska [1] that the authors had used this editorial vehicle, usually so helpful in providing insightful critique of the latest research by experts in their field, to present their own unpublished data on dietary habits in frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). As clinicians, we rely on our ability to critically appraise the evidence presented in the literature to determine the most appropriate advice for our patients. Introducing these data in this way undermines the peer review process and does not allow critical reading as we have no clear idea of the methodology used.
