DOI: 10.1080/15569527.2017.1382503
Abstract: Abstract Background: Because of irreversible outcome of the lichen planopilaris (LPP), systemic therapy should be used in early inflammatory stages of the disease, without allowing the irreversible scar formation and permanent hair loss. Objective: We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ced.15245
Abstract: Primary cicatricial alopecia (PCA), also known as scarring alopecia, comprises a diverse group of hair disorders that cause permanent destruction of the pilosebaceous unit, resulting in disappearance of the follicular ostia. Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cup.13879
Abstract: Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is an erythematous‐desquamative dermatitis that is sometimes associated with non‐scarring alopecia. Despite the fact that the disease can be disfiguring, scarring alopecia has rarely been described in this disease. Here, we… read more here.
