Official Title: Design and Validation of a New Assessment Tool for Lichen Planopilaris, the Boston Grade of Activity in Lichen Planopilaris (Boston GOAL)

Brief Summary:

The study's Primary Objective is to design and validate a grading system for objective and accurate assessment of lichen planopilaris.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To assess change in symptoms such as pain and itch using a Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) scores and quality of life using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores
  • To correlate this grading system with patient skin biopsies evaluating disease activity on a microscopic level
  • To correlate this grading system with digital global photography and trichoscopy
