Hello dear,

I have tried to understand your scalp condition and it seems you are having scarring alopecia.

3 main conditions to rule out,

-Follicular lichen planus (lichen plano pilaris)
-Cutaneous lupus
-pseudo Palade of broque.

I think biopsy report should rule out Lichen planus and lupus.pseudo Palade of broque is many times diagnosis of exclusion.

If new bald patches are still arising or size of existing patch increasing we can think of oral betamethasone pulse therapy to halt the disease process.

Thank uou, hope this conversation will help you
