My dermatologist prescribed ketoconazole shampoo and told me to alternate it with Head and Shoulders shampoo.
Hello, thank you for your reply. I did have minimal shedding before Covid. Initially, when diagnosed and even afterward, I still had minimal shedding but about a month or possible 2 months ago, I started noticing more hair in the drain when washing. My dermatologist has prescribed a combination of minoxidil and finesteride (spelling) from a compound pharmacy that I use at night and the clobetesol in the mornings. I take a multi-vitamin, a 5,000mcg biotin and 50mcg of vitamin D3 daily. I’m open to anything else to try and wanted to connect with anyone that has been diagnosed with LPP since it is relatively rare. It helps just to know there are others that are going through the emotional roller coaster that I am.
