What Is Lichen Planus?

Lichen planus is an inflammatory skin condition in which our own immune system attacks the skin cells or the mucous membranes. It may get triggered by some medicines, chemicals, or stress.

Lichen planus can affect various parts of your body, such as skin, scalp, nails, mouth (inner cheeks, lips, tongue, gums, or palate), and genitals (penis or scrotum in males and vulva or vagina in females), causing discomfort. In some patients, it may affect the mucous membrane of the esophagus, larynx, pharynx, etc.

As a matter of fact, about 1.5% of the world population happens to suffer from this uncommon and chronic skin disorder called lichen planus.

Some common symptoms of lichen planus affecting the skin are itching, flat-topped, raised purple or pink, rough, or mildly scaly lesions. If mucous membranes are affected by Lichen Planus, then the symptoms which occur are white lacy patches, increased thickness of mucosa, and painful sores.

What Are The Available Treatment Options?

Most commonly used medicines for lichen planus are some or other form of cortisone or steroids, which can be used either orally, topically as a local cream, or injectables. The use of steroid is found to be temporary and short lasting. It is important to note that lichen planus is a chronic disease which needs a long and planned treatment.

How Homeopathy Can Help In Treating Lichen Planus?

Though lichen planus appears on the skin, mouth, genitals, nails or scalp, its root cause is a deviated immune system, which is governed by some genetic factors. Hence, treatment for lichen planus needs to be aimed at correcting the immune system. If this is done, then the disease could be treated for a long time. If the treatment for lichen planus is carried out superficially by application of cortisone or the use of any immunosuppressive medicines, the condition will be alleviated superficially only to reappear or relapse as soon as the effect of medicines would be over.
