How Do Steroids Work In Treatment Of Lichen Planopilaris?

I have been diagnosed with lichen planopilaris. I just started a topical steroid treatment and an oral med. Will this regrow my hair or will it just stop hair loss. I don t have any bald patches yet, but I ve probably had the condition for about 3 years.
