What should you do if you're experiencing fibrotic (scarring) hair loss?

Fibrosing (scarring) hair loss is caused by inflammatory processes in the hair follicle, such as in lichen planopilaris or frontal fibrosing alopecia. The inflammation destroys the hair root, so that hair no longer grows back in the affected areas. Typical symptoms include a receding hairline, bald patches on the forehead, temples, or back of the head, as well as occasional redness, itching, or a burning sensation on the scalp. The primary goal of treatment is to curb the inflammation and slow its progression. Early dermatological evaluation is important. Thymuskin can effectively support medical treatment.
