Hi, anyone dealing with lichen plano pilarus?
I was diagnosed 4 years ago.
Basically it’s lichen planus but of the scalp. The hair follicles are destroyed by the immune system attacking them.
I’ve lost more than 50% of my hair. When it’s flaring, my scalp burns so bad I can’t comb my hair.
I refused to take any of the treatments. For me the cure was worse than the disease.
I do use a helmet that emits red laser light therapy. This does help.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks
