What is Lichen Planus?
Lichen Planus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that may affect the skin, mouth, scalp, nails, or genital region. On the skin, it commonly appears as flat, purplish or brownish patches that may itch intensely.
Common symptoms may include:
- Purple or brown skin patches
- Itching
- Burning sensation
- Dryness
- Lesions on hands, legs, or other body parts
- Dark pigmentation after healing
- Flare-ups due to triggers
Lichen Planus may worsen due to stress, certain medicines, skin injury, sun exposure, dust, or friction.
Symptoms in This Case
At the time of consultation, the patient had:
- Purplish-brown lesions on both hands and legs
- Persistent itching
- Burning sensation
- Dryness of skin
- Aggravation from sun exposure
- Aggravation from dust exposure
- Melasma on the cheeks
- History of steroid use
The long duration and repeated flare-ups made the case chronic and required sustained treatment.
Case Evaluation
A detailed evaluation was carried out by Dr. Rajesh Shah. The case was assessed beyond the visible skin lesions.
The assessment included:
- Six-year history of Lichen Planus
- Location of lesions on hands and legs
- Itching, burning, and dryness
- Sun and dust aggravation
- Previous steroid use
- Concurrent melasma
- Family experience with treatment
- Overall constitution and susceptibility
This helped in selecting individualized homeopathic medicines suited to her complete symptom pattern.
Treatment Approach
The treatment plan included individualized homeopathic medicines, regular follow-ups, diet guidance, trigger awareness, and medicine revision whenever needed.
The aim was to reduce active lesions, itching, burning, and dryness while supporting long-term skin stability.
This case is relevant for patients looking for lichen planus treatment in Bengaluru, especially when symptoms have persisted for years despite repeated short-term control.

| December 2022 | Around 40% improvement was seen. A few new lesions appeared outside the face and scalp. Dryness and itching persisted, so medicines were revised. |

Doctor’s Insight
Chronic Lichen Planus often needs long-term management. In this case, the symptoms had persisted for six years and had been managed earlier with steroids.
The patient’s skin lesions, itching, burning, dryness, sun and dust sensitivity, melasma, treatment history, and overall constitution were considered together.
Medicine revision during treatment was important because chronic skin diseases can change over time. Regular follow-ups helped keep the treatment aligned with her progress.
