Scarring alopecia treatment in Vashi & Navi Mumbai, the earlier, the better.

Understanding scarring alopecia

Hair loss that needs medical treatment first.

Because follicles that are destroyed cannot regrow, the goal of treatment is to stop inflammation early and protect the hair you still have.

Lichen planopilaris (LPP)

Inflammation around follicles, often with scalp itching, pain or burning, redness and scaling.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA)

Slow recession of the frontal hairline, often with eyebrow loss, mainly in postmenopausal women but also seen in others.

Other scarring alopecias

Several less common types exist, including discoid lupus and folliculitis decalvans, each treated differently.

Dermoscopy and, if needed, biopsy

A small skin sample may be advised to identify the exact type, which decides the treatment.

Anti-inflammatory treatment

Your dermatologist chooses topical and oral medicines to calm the disease.

Hair transplant considerations

A transplant is considered only after the disease has been stable for a long time, and results are less predictable.

FAQ

Questions we are asked most.

Persistent scalp itching, burning or pain, redness, scaling around hair roots, and a smooth shiny area with no visible follicle openings.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia causes the frontal hairline to recede slowly, often with eyebrow thinning. It is a type of lichen planopilaris.

Hair that is lost to scarring does not regrow, but treatment can stop further loss and sometimes improve symptoms. This is why early treatment matters.

Only in carefully selected patients after the disease has been inactive for a long time. Your doctor will discuss the risks.

Often yes. A scalp biopsy helps confirm the type of alopecia and guides treatment.
