Scarring Alopecia and Lichen Planopilaris: Early Intervention and Treatment Strategy

Scarring alopecias require early recognition and prompt treatment to prevent irreversible hair loss. This session focuses on lichen planopilaris and related cicatricial alopecias, including diagnostic clues, trichoscopic findings, biopsy strategy, disease activity assessment, and treatment escalation. The discussion will include anti-inflammatory approaches, symptom control, patient counseling, and long-term monitoring for stabilization rather than full regrowth.
