Lichen Planopilaris Scarring

I am 52 years old and have been diagnosed with Lichen Planopilaris.

I have been shaving my head since 1997 so the baldness caused by this condition is not an issue…what is an issue is the scarring left behind by the disease. Is there any way to remove the redish purple scarring?

Generally, scarring on the skin is relatively permanent. I don’t recall seeing patients with lichen planopilaris in my practice, so I really couldn’t comment based on experience. I would consult with a dermatologist for possible treatments. Sorry.
