Summary

Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis. It most often affects the skin and mucous membranes. Sometimes lesions may appear in the area of nails (estimated at 10% of patients) or genital organs and anus.

The most dangerous form of lichen planus is lichen that develops on the oral mucosa. It is believed to be the cause of the development of oral cancer.

The vast majority of people suffering from lichen planus - 90%, experience spontaneous resolution of symptoms within a maximum of two years from the moment of their onset.

In about half of the patients, the changes disappear within about 6 months. People who have a problem that their ailments do not want to go away on their own must take into account the fact that treating lichen is not the easiest one.

Treatment of lichen is mainly based on alleviating its symptoms and accelerating the resolution of symptoms. Topical ointments containing strong glucocorticosteroids are usually applied to skin lesions or we can use Photodynamic Therapy

Conditions
