Background: Studies on the pathophysiology and comorbidities associated with lichen planopilaris (LPP) and frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) are limited. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of androgen excess in the postmenopausal LPP population, in relation to demographics and comorbidities. Methods: A retrospective data analysis of 413 patients with LPP, FFA, and LPP/FFA seen in the Department of Dermatology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio between 2005 and 2015 was conducted. Of this cohort, 168 patients met the inclusion criteria. Results: Androgen excess was identified in 31.5% (n = 53) of the 168 patients with LPP and all subtypes (P <. 001). Androgen deficiency was identified in 32.1% (n = 17) of the 53 patients with FFA (P <. 001). The androgen excess group was significantly more likely to present with hirsutism, seborrheic dermatitis, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts, or a combination of these (P <. 001). Limitations: This study was limited by being retrospective. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that LPP is associated with androgen excess, and FFA is associated with androgen deficiency.
