Lichen planopilaris is a type of scarring hair loss that occurs when a relatively common skin disease, known as lichen planus, affects areas of skin where there is hair. Lichen planopilaris destroys the hair follicle and then replaces it with scarring, resulting in permanent hair loss.
Lichen Planopilaris if not treated on time may lead to permanent hair loss. Treatment in homeopathy is case-dependent. The severity of symptoms, the extent of the lesions and response to treatment vary from individual to individual. Homeopathy is helpful to stop the further progress of the disease.
Homeopathy is strongly recommended in the initial stages of Lichen Planopilaris wherein we can help to control the further progress of the disease. It is not possible to grow hair on the scalp which has scarred skin. Good control of further deterioration is also considered as significant treatment using homeopathy.
