In this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 16 cases of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus in North East India, finding a higher prevalence in pediatric and male patients, with common clinical features including plantar involvement and histopathological indicators such as basal cell degeneration.

This case report describes a rare instance of lichen planus preceding vitiligo in a 13-year-old boy, suggesting a non-coincidental association between the two conditions.

Treatment improved some symptoms but not all.

This systematic review found that while hair transplantation in patients with lichen planopilaris may serve as a cosmetic option, there is a notable decline in graft survival rates after two years, and the data currently lacks prospective studies for stronger evidence.

In this study, frontal fibrosing alopecia showed a higher cumulative remission rate compared to lichen planopilaris, despite similar timeframes and relapse rates between the two conditions.

In this study, researchers reported that applying topical 7.5% dapsone led to a significant decline in lichen planopilaris activity within a month and a sustained two-year remission in a patient intolerant to other treatments, suggesting dapsone as a promising alternative for managing this condition.

In this study, researchers engineered ventral skin organoids (vSkOs) with specific cellular compositions and signaling environments to generate human amnion-like tissues called Amnioids, offering new tools for studying human development and potential regenerative therapies.

This case report highlights that early signs like pili torti may precede lichen planopilaris in some patients, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to prevent permanent hair loss.

In this retrospective chart review, researchers found that patients with scarring alopecia, including central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, have a higher prevalence of various systemic comorbidities, such as vitamin D deficiency and metabolic syndrome, compared to the general US population.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing lichen planopilaris and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize early recognition to potentially prevent permanent scarring.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma may be more effective and satisfactory than topical clobetasol for treating lichen planopilaris over six months.

This article discusses the case of a 59-year-old woman with a history of progressive facial hyperpigmentation and explores potential connections between her condition and her family history, but reports no clinical findings.

This review discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and highlights diagnostic features, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the value of trichoscopy and histology in diagnosis.

In this study, sodium fluoride at certain concentrations increased the MDA levels in cultured human hair follicles, while 0.01 mmol/L sodium selenite reduced this effect at lower fluoride concentrations.

This case report describes a 25-year-old woman with widespread lichen planus who did not respond to multiple systemic treatments, including antihistamines, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, and corticosteroids.

This study reviewed 40 patients with scalp symptoms and identified a new variant of diffuse lichen planopilaris in 20 individuals, suggesting these conditions should be considered in similar cases.

This study found that lash ptosis was more common and severe in eyes with blepharoptosis, especially congenital, compared to normal eyes.

Women with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia often have other health issues like hypothyroidism and lupus.

This study identified a shared gene signature in scarring alopecia subtypes, with increased mast cell presence, suggesting similar treatment approaches may be effective across these hair loss disorders.

This study found that oral retinoid therapy may provide clinical improvement in a small percentage of patients with treatment-resistant lichen planopilaris, although it is not commonly used as a first-line treatment.

This study found that combined therapy with cetirizine and topical steroids stabilized inflammation in most patients with lichen planus pilaris, though one patient experienced cardiac arrhythmia.

This study introduced the Lichen Planus Activity and Damage Index (LiPADI), which effectively assesses the severity and progression of lichen planus, aligning well with other clinical indicators.

This case study reports a 20-year-old laborer's progressive hair loss with scalp and body lesions, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris, leading to scarring alopecia resembling male-pattern baldness.

People with primary cicatricial alopecia have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

This study found that hydroxychloroquine significantly reduced disease activity in women with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris, particularly benefitting patients after 12 months of treatment.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections significantly improved olfactory function in patients with long-lasting postviral olfactory dysfunction, suggesting potential as a therapeutic strategy.

Clinical signs don't match inflammation levels in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that, in male patients with patellar tendinopathy, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell treatment improved tendon regeneration, organization, strength, and pain relief more effectively than leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma over 12 months.

This study found that in Lichen Planopilaris, the Microbacteriaceae family was negatively correlated with IL-23 expression, suggesting a role in the disease's inflammation and microbiota composition.

In this observational study, researchers reported a significant association between COVID-19 infection or vaccination and the development of new-onset lichen planus, suggesting these events, particularly infection, may act as triggers for the condition.
