Penning down his expertise in the dermatology sector, Dr. Jangid, our renowned skin specialist in Delhi NCR says that any sort of trauma on the scalp area is usually considered as the most common cause for scarring alopecia.rnrnA past surgery on the scalp area along with some skin or hair centric diseases like Lichen Planopilaris (LPP), Morphea, Dissecting Folliculitis of scalp are some other reasons behind this disorder’s occurrence.

Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition where the exact cause behind it remains unknown to date. However, Dr. Jangid says that it can be associated with other autoimmune conditions like hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, and other variants of lichen planus.

At SkinQure, the treatment of scarring alopecia is carried forward in the general steps. First, we control the disease so that it doesn’t cause any extra damage to your hair follicles. Second, we work upon the damaged regrowth areas of hair on the scalp so that it can be repaired and treated accordingly for enabling it to grow healthy hair like ever before.rnrnFor example, if the LPP is the reason behind your scarring alopecia, we suppress the activity of LPP first. Then after, we initiate further proceedings that are required to ensure the re-growth of healthy hair again through the best hair transplant treatment available at SkinQure and in town.

So initially we have to allow the area to heal in case of trauma and that takes around 3 to 6 months and later on, we can plan for the Hair Transplant. In case of LPP again we have to stop the disease progress and we have to again wait for six months to see the activity and can plan for hair transplant.rnrnIf you’re not familiar with any such options for your scarring alopecia, it is recommended to consult a good dermatologist like Dr. Jangid for a professional assistance.
