Have you been told you have lichen planopilaris (LPP)? Many people have never heard of this condition because it is considered rare. It can impact the skin as well as the hair, nails, and mucous membranes, creating several different symptoms in those who have it. For those who have the variety that impacts the skin, it typically causes flat bumps that itch and often turn a purple-like color. In some situations, it can cause hair loss to occur. If you think you have this condition, treatment is important, and options may be available to help you.
