Dealing with Lichen Planopilaris?
in Health ·
Hey there!
I know this thread's been pretty quiet lately, but I was hoping someone might have some extra insight to share. 🤗
So, I got my Lichen diagnosis back in November 2020. Since then, it's been a bit of a revolving door with local treatments for the perianal area—I even tried Arechin for a little while, but had to cut it short because of other health stuff going on. Right now, my prescribed regimen is Letizen and Pioglitazon. I haven't actually started the Pioglitazon yet because, honestly, the list of side effects looks pretty daunting, but my hair loss is getting out of hand, so I’m planning to dive in soon. Has anyone found any recent breakthroughs or maybe a way to actually put a stop to this?
Also, just curious—where did you guys all get your diagnoses? Is it worth hunting down a second (or third) opinion from a specialist?
Thanks so much in advance! 😌
