It is best to follow the instructions or recommendations of the doctor who has examined you.  If you are worried see another doctor for a second opinion.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

If you're under the care of a dermatologist, let him or her guide you in terms of the next best stops. Yes the scars in LPP are permanent but there are many options to stop the disease. Treatments for LPP includetopical steroids and steroid injectionstopical tacrolimusoral doxycyclineoral hydroxychloroquineoral mycophenolateoral cyclosporine

This underscores the importance of a correct diagnosis in hair loss. If Lichen Plano Pilaris is suspected you will need appropriate investigation by a dermatologist.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

LPP is a dermatolotic condition typically presents as smooth white patches of scalp hair loss. No hair follicle openings can be seen in the areas of hair loss. At the edges of these patches there may be scale and redness around each hair follicle. Hairs can be easily pulled out. It is multifocal and small patches may merge to form larger irregular areas. If you are having a problem with the treatment, go back to your doctor
