Lichen Planopilaris...newly diagnosed

Hi,
I was recently diagnosed with LPP. I have alway had very thick, course, curly hair and it is very overwhelming all of a sudden to be losing my hair. I am trying to come to terms with the whole thing...some days are better than other days. I have had two rounds of the cortisone shots in my scalp. First round of shots gave me some relief but the second round isn't helping. I am trying to get an appt with a specialist in the SF Bay Area but that is very difficult. UCSF isn't accepting any appts and no waitlist. Trying to get appts with Stanford and UC Davis Hair Clinics.
In the meantime, open to all over the counter options and would welcome any suggestions from other LPP patients. Also, has anyone tried Dr. Gashee products?
Thank you.

I have also tried the Gashee products. I feel like they offer some relief but they aren’t practical for me. I have really blonde hair and the smell isn’t something you want to wear on your head in the daytime.. I would recommend the acupuncture and Qigong. It’s been a game changer for me…
