Resumo: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (AFF) is a primary cicatricial alopecia that was described in 1994. It predominantly affects women, most often in menopause. Studies have shown that alopecias, in general, may have stress as a trigger and maintenance factor. Regarding cicatricial alopecia, especially AFF, the relevance of these factors was little studied, however, studies suggest that stressful events may be associated with the onset of alopecia conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relevance of suffering as a stressful event as a possible triggering factor for AFF patients. To perform this evaluation a socio-demographic form, a quality of life inventory in Dermatology (DQLI) and a semi-structured interview was held in a single meeting with the research volunteers. The 12 volunteers in the study present life stories with intense reports of frustration, impotence, insecurity, loss, shame and loneliness. DQLI, used to assess the impact of AFF on the life of the volunteers, was consistent with the observations made by them, that the disease accompanies a high degree of stress and suffering
