    Glossary Lichen Planus

    inflammatory condition causing itchy, purplish skin and mucous membrane lesions

    Lichen Planus is an inflammatory condition that affects the skin and mucous membranes, leading to purplish, itchy, flat-topped bumps. In the context of hair, it can cause a type of scarring alopecia known as lichen planopilaris, where the inflammation targets hair follicles, potentially leading to permanent hair loss.
