Abstract
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia characterized by several different patterns of permanent hair loss. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> Trichoscopy plays an essential role in the context of LPP, as recognizing the distinctive signs of the disease facilitates the diagnosis of all forms of lichenoid alopecia. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> This review aimed to recognizing the trichoscopic signs early on, enabling timely intervention, potentially preventing the disease from advancing to its permanent scarring stage.
