Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss Due To Lichen Planus
I have lichen planus and have had this for a few years now, it came and went and has come back stronger. This time it has effected y scalp really badly and caused alapecia, despite hours spent on the net looking for treatments of hair loss, it all basically says the same: lichen planus in the scalp causes permanent hair loss and no suggestions for treatments. I am really desperate now and would like a suggestion for a possible treatment please

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you to use a topical potent steroid e.g clobetasol propionate 0.05 % lotion, in addition to this I suggest a 4-6 months course of oral minipulse therapy with oral steroids e.g betamethasone or dexamethasone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
