[|AI|]  Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Lichen Plano Polaris (LPP) is one of the causes of Cicatrices Alopecia (irreversible loss of hair) of the scalp.LPP is characterized clinically by follicular lesions, scaling and loss of hair leaving behind smooth atrophic patches and hyperpigmentation. The disease tends to spread at the periphery. The therapies that you have tried are not specific to LPP. Specific treatment of LPP is with Oral steroids which would arrest further progression as well as reverse early damage. Oral steroids are usually given in pulse doses and may be required to be continued for 4-6 months. Topical treatment is with potent topical steroid lotions with or without salicylic acid. I would suggest that you seek another appointment with your dermatologist. Your dermatologist will assess the condition and prescribe accordingly. Regards
