I am wondering if anyone has experience dealing with lichen planopilaris - scarring alopecia or similar conditions. Some of the symptoms I have include redness, itching, flaky scalp, and a burning sensation. However, it is very sporadic in that it randomly appears and goes after several weeks. I had a clinical evaluation from a dermatologist who prescribed medicated shampoo and steroid cream. This helps to ease the symptoms, but I cannot help thinking that she should have arranged a scalp biopsy. All my symptoms indicate LLP or SA, Now in two minds to source another medical opinion.
My hair has been thinning with a diffuse pattern, no complete bald spots. This could be why the Derm did not think it was one of the above.
Right now, a hair transplant is something that could restore my hair, but I have read conflicting theories that state not suitable and others say suitable if not that serious. Has anybody in the community went ahead with these conditions?
The hair around the back and sides is not affected. If this hair is moved to the top will it be resistant to LLP or SA?
