Yes it was a biopsy. Dermatologists seem unsure on the diagnosis though - I definitely have folliculitis, see term and MPB - and no further hair loss for 4+ years.

It's hard to tell what I'm looking at in this photo...but looks like you might have scale around the hair? The white bulb attached to the end of hair isn't the bulb or root- it's a keratin sac. The bulb or root doesn't fall out with LPP - or any hair condition that I'm aware of. Did you have a biopsy that indicated LPP?

Hey, sorry for the delay - I've checked my email and it's actually Farmaci Tristiana that I order from in Andorra. They have loads of options - and can compound additional things if you request it. Just make sure you're ordering the right strengths as there are lots of options. I usually use normal shipping. If I'm not home, the Royal Mail holds it - and doesn't always issue a note - so I have to collect it at the local sorting office. Royal Mail have been able to track the shipping number issued by the Spanish Postal service which the pharmacy uses.

I've been actively fighting scalp inflammation for a few years now - you can DM me if you have questions.

You should You should find a specialist hair dermatologist -you might have an inflammatory or autoimmune condition e.g. LPP or Areata - or something else. It doesn't appear to be usual MBP based on the pattern and speed.

I'm very sorry about this.. I was diagnosed with LPP after my HT (I think I had it before HT). LPP largely under control now. Dr. should never have offered to do a 2nd procedure until LPP was calmed/treated. Did you have LPP symptoms before HT - and now?

I've used anagencia and now direct from Parati - no issues with either and get my shipment fairly quickly to the UK (within a week or two) via the Spanish post - they will provide tracking number if you ask. I use 0.1% topical but - average 1ml 2-3 times per week or so (sometimes I use 5-6 days/week but smaller dosage per day). I've been using for around 9 months now - less minaturised hair for sure. I used oral fin 1x day for 1.5 years and had mild/moderate sides - nothing similar on topical DUT thankfully.

This is a very interesting study - I wonder if inflammation could be one of the causes. It's known that many with AGA have co-current inflammation to varying degrees and treating the inflammation is not well understood. I was diagnosed with LPP 1 year after HT....not sure it that is what I have or something else.

Agree LPP is not nice - but it's not contagious. It's an autoimmune condition - it's not a fungus/bacterial/viral and not something you can catch from others or at the gym.

I'd suggest seeing a specialist hair dermatologist - if there is inflammation, something like a topical steroid might help (I have an inflmmatory hair condition and the topical steroids help me). Diagnosing these conditions can be a challenge - hence it's best to find an expert hair doctor rather than a generalist.

Sorry I meant to say eyebrow thinning tends to be more common with FFA.

Interestingly I've read that DUT half life for oral is 5 week....but half life is dose dependent. I've seen it suggested that topical dut doses may be in the days rather than weeks...see post and study below.

So...as far as I'm aware LP is pretty rare in people with LPP and vice versa. LP also tends not to chronic (unlike LPP unfortunately). I'm a member of the FB group for LPP and very few people have LP too - although of course some do on a group of 2000 people. I believe the risk is elevated but it's still pretty rare to have both conditions. I think I read itch is present in 70+% of LPP cases.....eyebrow thinning tends to be more with LPP but also FAPD and occasionally LPP too.
