Do shampoos with tea tree oil in them help treat the hair loss conditions LPP and FFA?

April 5, 2018
Asked By:pclarktor in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Do shampoos with tea tree oil in them help soothe the itchiness from LPP? Do tea tree oil shampoos help calm the inflammation from LPP & FFA? Or could these shampoos further irritate these hair loss conditions? Are they safe to try? Thank you for your help.
