43903 Lichen Planopilaris Treatment Patterns: a US Population-Based Study

Background: Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a chronic, progressive cicatricial alopecia that usually affects middle-aged women, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe pain and pruritus. Current management is aimed at alleviating symptoms and halting disease progression. However, large-scale controlled studies evaluating the efficacy of treatments for LPP are limited, and response to therapeutic regimens is variable and inconsistent. Objectives: To describe dermatology treatment patterns for LPP using a United States (US) electronic medical record database.
