Scarring alopecia is a long-term condition in which hair loss can be permanent, and improvement may take time, so 3 weeks is often too early to see any change. Keep using the treatment as advised, avoid harsh products, reduce scalp irritation, and follow a gentle hair-care routine to protect remaining hair. Do not expect quick regrowth, as the main aim is to stop further damage. A doctor can review your response and adjust treatment if needed to control the condition better.

  4. Follow-up
