I have Lichen Planopilaris

Hi @maralina - you want to avoid anything that will irritate or inflame your scalp. I was diagnosed with LPP back in October, 2023. I have had two rounds of cortisone shots in my scalp, use a red light dome cap 2x a week, gone on a low histamine diet, started acupuncture once a week, use minoxidil 5% liquid once a day and a steroid liquid 2x a day. I have quite a bit of new hair coming in and my doctor is very pleased with my progress. The low histamine diet has helped significantly with reducing the inflammation and itching. I did notice a new patch of scaling on a front section of my scalp...which is very frustrating. I may go back to the doctor to ask them to give me a low dose steroid shot in that spot to try and get it to stop. Other than that, I don't have any other solution. I am going to try tai chi soon to see if that helps with stress. At the end of June I have my first appt with the hair loss clinic at Stanford. Hoping they can provide me with other effective options to stop the progression.
Hope this information helps.
