Recognizing IPPP is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments.

This study observed that hormone replacement therapy and autoimmune diseases may be more common among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia compared to those with androgenetic alopecia.

This narrative review discusses lichen planus pigmentosus, including its variations, associated triggers, and management strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This reported case of lichen planopilaris in siblings suggests a potential genetic predisposition, supporting the hypothesis of inherited susceptibility in this condition.

This case study reported that a 34-year-old woman with classic lichen planopilaris achieved disease remission after two months of hydroxychloroquine treatment following ineffective corticosteroid therapy.

In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

This review discusses the potential relationship between lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting a case study but reporting no new clinical findings.

This letter argues that cicatricial pattern hair loss likely represents end-stage androgenetic alopecia and not a variant of lichen planopilaris, as previously suggested.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may reduce inflammation and increase hair thickness in patients with lichen planopilaris after six months of treatment, though the small sample size limits the findings.

In this case study from King Fahad University Hospital, an 11-month-old Saudi boy with a history of short, non-growing hair was diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, attributed to a homozygous mutation in the LIPH gene.

This case report identifies a novel LIPH gene mutation linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese boy, expanding the spectrum of known mutations associated with this condition.

This case report highlights lichen planus pigmentosus in a 60-year-old man, which was linked to previously undetected hepatitis C infection and liver cirrhosis, suggesting a need for hepatitis C testing in patients with similar dermatological manifestations.

This study conducted a comparative analysis of platelet rich plasma and low level laser therapy for androgenetic alopecia but does not present new clinical findings.

This study reports two cases of follicular lichen planus, suggesting that GLPLS and LPP may be variants of this condition based on clinical and immunofluorescent findings.

In this study, PDLLA treatment in middle-aged mice was observed to enhance hair growth by increasing macrophage M2 polarization and hair follicle stem cell proliferation, potentially rejuvenating the skin's microenvironment and offering a novel approach for age-related hair loss.

In this pilot study, researchers observed a correlation between clinical severity and histologic severity of lichen planopilaris, suggesting that an immunohistochemical scoring system could aid in grading disease activity.

This study identified compound heterozygous mutations, c.1101del and c.736 T > A, in the LIPH gene responsible for causing autosomal recessive woolly hair in a child, with c.1101del being a novel frameshift mutation.

This article discusses the importance of early recognition of LPP due to its significant aesthetic and psychosocial effects and calls for efforts to prevent misdiagnosis.

This case report describes a patient with lichen planopilaris who experienced remarkable hair regrowth at a previously scarred area after treatment with low-dose naltrexone and platelet-rich plasma, following minimal response to other therapies.

This study found diverse clinical presentations of lichen planopilaris, with classic lichen planopilaris being the most common, highlighting the importance of recognizing this variability for accurate diagnosis.

This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

The project developed and tested a method using plasma rich platelets to treat hair loss.

This review discusses the application of low-level light therapy for hair loss treatment, particularly androgenetic alopecia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest consideration of light source characteristics and potential pros and cons.

This study observed that PRP treatment resulted in greater improvement in hair thickness and density in alopecia areata patients compared to LLLT, with benefits sustained over 12 weeks.

Hair transplants can risk reactivating lichen planopilaris, a scarring hair loss condition.

A 70-year-old woman with a rare skin condition improved after treatment with topical steroids and acitretin.

This study found that the revised BASP classification for pattern hair loss, which addresses certain limitations of the original, could serve as an alternative option despite a decrease in clinical accuracy and ease of use.

This study reports that a patient with rare linear lichen planopilaris experienced complete hair regrowth after 12 weeks of treatment with the antibody ixekizumab, suggesting it as a potential targeted therapy.

This study found that immune privilege collapse in the hair follicle bulge and associated immune responses may contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris, suggesting a potential autoimmune basis for the disease.

This study found that Low Power Laser therapy may be an effective complementary treatment for scalp alopecia and crural ulcers, showing quicker and potentially better results than conventional treatments.
