    TLDR Linear Discoid Lupus Erythematosus of the scalp can cause hair loss and should be considered in similar cases.
    This paper reported the first case of isolated linear Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) of the scalp, presenting in a 26-year-old Saudi male. The patient exhibited a unilateral linear pigmented plaque with atrophy and hair loss on the left temple, without systemic manifestations or involvement of other body sites. Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination, dermoscopy, and skin biopsy. Treatment with clobetasol solution and triamcinolone acetonide injections led to improvement and hair regrowth. The study emphasized that linear DLE of the scalp should be considered a differential diagnosis for linear scarring alopecia, recognizing it as a distinct morphological pattern of DLE.

      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.

      The conversation is about starting a Discord group for people using KX-826 as their only treatment for hair loss, excluding those who are not serious or use multiple treatments. Someone agrees with the idea but mentions "GP :3," which is unclear.
