I was finally able to see a specialist last month. The hair specialist wanted to put me on strong anti inflammatory meds however they can cause hives. My allergist recently diagnosed me with chronic hives...so strong anti inflammatory meds were ruled out for me. My allergist and the hair specialist decided to put me on Dupixent. I have had my first dose last week and have been told that all meds take about 4 months before you start to see results. Also, I have had two dermatologists tell me that my hair will not grow back in the LPP scarred areas on my scalp and I need to accept that.
Hope this info helps.

I am currently on doxy and Clobetasol. I was able to change dermatologists who was going to cut my dosage of hydroxychloroquine if things still looked good at the year mark. However, shortly before that appointment my eye doctor discovered retina issues that were probably not caused by the drugs but dermatologist decided to play it safe and changed me to Doxy. So far so good about month in.

That said, other than not getting additional bald spots (as far as I can tell) I still can't confirm what has worked and what hasn't. I almost envy those who have had itching issues because at least you can tell if a treatment is working. But then my initial dermatologist was keen to triple up or quadruple up on medications.
