@twinklestar18. I love your online name!! Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect . I’m glad you found this site.
Can you tell us why you had no treatment for 10 years? What did they tell you the first time you went for a diagnosis?

@becsbuddy I went for treatment two times and both time they treated for DLE due to blacking and reddish color of spots. But I discontinued treatment because of some personal reasons. Now, I am getting it treated again and now my doctor is treating for LPE but now after seeing a bit of growth now he is saying it can be something else like schleroderma as I have some atrophy in my patches. I don't know what everyone is doing. He is saying he won't do biopsy as my hair is growing biopsy is necessary only for active disease and mine is burnt out
