Lichen Planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory and immune-mediated disease that affects the skin, nails, hair, and mucous membranes. Lichen planus appears as purplish, itchy, flat-topped bumps. On mucous membranes, such as in the mouth, it forms lacy, white patches, sometimes with painful sores. The exact cause of lichen planus is unknown. However, the condition isn't infectious and doesn't usually run in families. It can't be passed on to other people, including sexual partners.
Fortunately, you have homeopathy to treat the condition effectively. Here’s a case of lichen planus treated with homeopathy successfully.
Mrs. J. G. D. (PIN: 5845) walked into the Chembur Clinic of Life Force Homeopathy on 17th May 2017 with anxiety about her skin disease. She had no major stress. She was working as a lab technician at Mulund Hospital. In the past, she was under our treatment for Lichen planus from 2003 to 2007. Now, she had lesions on her ankle, feet dorsal, and both hands. She had only hyperpigmentation with dryness and thickness with severe itching from the last month. She was not having any other associated disease.
At Life Force Homeopathy, a detailed case-taking was done and Dr. Rajesh Shah prescribed medication after studying the case in detail. The blood investigation was done and certain dietic changes were advised.
