I was diagnosed with Lichen Planopilaris three years ago and was given Clobetasol Propionate, Topical Solution 0.05%. I was not too alarmed at that time because the shedding of my hair was not that much.

In the following years after, there were lots of stress in my life and just a month ago I started experiencing a lot of my hair falling so I decided to go back to my Dermatologist to submit a treatment of my problem.She did a skin biopsy and confirmed that it is LPP**I am now taking hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day and have been aware of the side effects which made me think twice if I am doing the right thing. The Dermatolgist is also giving me advice to apply minoxidil on the balding area .As much as possible ,I would like to get a natural approach to deal with this autoimmune disease .

I read about your patients' discussions on the problem and what caught my interest most was the experience of Keasha.She went to an accupuncturist and been drinking herbal tea as well so I hope I could keep in touch with her through private message.

Would really appreciate your help for I am getting desperate now.I am so scared to lose all my hair because I know that they always say the hair is woman's crowning glory.
