- Abstract
While LPP and frontal fibrosing alopecia are both T-cell-mediated diseases, potential differences in HLA variants associated with LPP or frontal fibrosing alopecia may impact the propensity of developing hypothyroidism. Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a variant of lichen planus characterized by T-lymphocyte-mediated perifollicular inflammation leading to irreversible, scarring alopecia. It has an estimated prevalence between 0.03 and 0.04%.[[1]] Given the autoimmune pathophysiology of LPP, several recent studies have analyzed the association between LPP and autoimmune diseases, namely hypothyroidism.
