How Do Steroids Work In Treatment Of Lichen Planopilaris?
I have been diagnosed with lichen planopilaris. I just started a topical steroid treatment and an oral med. Will this regrow my hair or will it just stop hair loss. I don t have any bald patches yet, but I ve probably had the condition for about 3 years.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that, steroid would stop the falling of drug till it is continue once you stop this the effect of steroid wont be there, for the regrowth of hair there is no promising treatment available, of course partial results are there because of the steroid, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
