His appetite was average with craving for sweets and fried food. Perspiration, bowel habits and urination were normal. Sleep was sound. He was hot patient with marked aggravation from heat.
Mr. K.P. was planning to do masters in Chemical Engineering from Canada. He was very self conscious and fastidious. He would have strong hatred for the people who have offended him. He was very responsible towards the family and had very rational thinking.
Based on above history Dr. Rajesh Shah prescribed his research-based medicines. In initial two months he noticed some new lesions; which was expected as there was a recent history of intake of cortisone. The lesions started getting better slowly.
Within next two months, the spread stopped completely. Itching was reduced. Only hyperpigmentated marks were there without any itching. In all his further follow ups, there was improvement in his Lichen Planus. By February 2011, when he reported from Canada, he was completely recovered from his Lichen Planus.
