    TLDR GLPLS and LPP are variants of lichen planus.
    The document reported two cases of follicular lichen planus, with Case 1 fitting the Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome (GLPLS) and Case 2 fitting lichen planopilaris (LPP). The study's immunofluorescent findings and clinical overlap supported the concept that GLPLS and LPP were variants of lichen planus.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
