The hair loss condition that terrifies dermatologists (including me) 😰⁠
⁠
Lichen planopilaris - your immune system attacking your hair follicles, causing PERMANENT scarring.⁠
⁠
Watch for:⁠
🔥 Scalp itching, burning, or stinging⁠
📍 Unexplained hair loss⁠
🔍 Red bumps around hair follicles⁠
⚠️ Raised skin where hair used to be⁠
⁠
The scary part? Sometimes it's invisible without a dermatoscope. Early detection is everything - these hair follicles don't get a second chance.⁠
⁠
If you have unexplained hair loss with scalp discomfort, don't wait. Get to a dermatologist NOW.⁠
⁠
Full breakdown of this condition in my new YouTube video - link in bio! 🎥⁠
