Lichen planopilaris (also known as "Acuminatus," "Follicular lichen planus," "Lichen planus follicularis," and "Peripilaris"[1]) is a form of hair loss which involves scarring, a follicular form of lichen planus,[2] and is considered to have an autoimmune cause.[3][4] Lichen planopilaris is a distinct variant of cicatricial alopecia, a group of rare disorders which destroy the hair follicle, replace it with scar tissue, and cause permanent hair loss.
