Lichen planopilaris: A retrospective study of 32 cases in an Australian tertiary referral hair clinic

Abstract

Lichen planopilaris is characterised by a marked female predominance and clinically with pruritus, perifollicular erythema and perifollicular scale. The current range of treatments used produced mixed and often unsatisfactory results. Multicentre, prospective, randomised controlled trials are warranted to provide clearer data on efficacious treatment options.
