Treatment of lichen planopillaris (LPP) remains a significant challenge due to the irreversible damage inflicted on hair follicles combined with the low efficacy of existing treatments. We hypothesized that growth factors released by the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may arrest the development of LPP. To test our hypothesis, we treated an LPP patient that has failed previous treatments with a new PRP regimen. Following PRP treatment and six months follow-up, the patient experienced complete regression of itching and hair shedding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of successful treatment of LPP with a PRP regimen.
扁平苔藓样毛发角化病(LPP)的治疗仍然是一项重大挑战,因为毛囊会受到不可逆的损伤,且现有治疗方法疗效欠佳。我们推测,使用富含血小板血浆(PRP)释放的生长因子可能会阻止LPP的发展。为了验证我们的假设,我们采用一种新的PRP方案治疗了一名先前治疗失败的LPP患者。经过PRP治疗和六个月的随访,该患者的瘙痒和脱发症状完全消退。据我们所知,这是首例使用PRP方案成功治疗LPP的报告。
