    TLDR LALPS causes non-scarring hair loss along the Blaschko line, with unique trichoscopic findings.
    Linear and annular lupus panniculitis of the scalp (LALPS) was identified as a unique form of lupus panniculitis causing non-scarring alopecia along the Blaschko line in a healthy 23-year-old male. The case highlighted the scarcity of data on trichoscopic findings and their correlation with underlying pathology. The report provided detailed trichoscopic observations and their histopathological correlations, contributing valuable insights to the limited existing literature on LALPS.

      This user has been struggling with hair loss for the past two years and attempted to treat it using finasteride and minoxidil. Despite their efforts, they have not seen any improvement in their condition, so they have decided to shave or buzz their head instead. Others gave advice on other treatments that could be tried if desired.

      The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.

      A user is concerned that finasteride isn't working for their hair loss, questioning if it's due to male pattern baldness or low iron levels. They are advised to take finasteride daily and get blood work done.
