Lichen Planopilaris...newly diagnosed

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.

This disease is horrible. I do not have any itching or burning either. The medicine is harsh and I have no idea if it is working.
