Lichen planus & its homeopathy treatment:

The character of the scale of lichen planus also differs from that of psoriasis. The lesions of lichen planus frequently show a reticulate or lacy white pattern called Wickham's striae. Lichen planus also typically produces lesions which are flat-topped and polyangular (rectangular or polygonal in shape) rather than rounded papules.

Lichen Planus is a chronic, obstinate skin disease of which the exact cause is still unknown. You find skin eruptions raised above the skin level, brown to black in color, irregular in shape, slightly hard and profoundly itchy. There may be a few spots to begin with and has a tendency to spread to any part of the body. Often, limbs are affected in the early phase, but not as a rule.


Symptoms of Lichen planus:
Raised shiny itchy rash
Small pink bumps
Small purple bumps
Scaly patches
Mouth rash
Mouth ulcers
Blue areas inside cheeks
Blue areas on the tongue
rectum itching
Penile rash
Penile itching
Vaginal rash

Lichen Planus: Its homeopathy treatment :
It is important and interesting to appreciate the homeopathic outlook to Lichen Planus. The science of homeopathy looks at any skin disorder as an external expression of the internal disharmony. In other words, it is understood that due to certain internal system disorder, the Lichen Planus is manifested as an outcome. With this appreciation, it is emphasized that the treatment of Lichen Planus has to be essentially in order to normalize the internal disorder instead of just suppressing the skin eruptions with any local application of creams.

As per the above logical theory, Lichen Planus is not a local disease but a local expression of a systemic disease which should be treated at the system level in a planned manner. Hence, any use of local suppressant is strictly prohibited in homeopathy. The homeopathy treatment is determined after evaluation of the patients case in a great detail. The case-study is the most vital part of the treatment, whereby various aspects of the patient's life-style, personality, food-habits, emotional make-up, personal and the family history are evaluated appropriately to decide on the correct medication to treat Lichen Planus.

As the entire constitution (physical and mental) of the patients is evaluated in a systematic manner, the homeopathic treatment is called as the constitutional treatment.

I have been diagnosed with Lichen Planus and once with the help of Homeopathy I was able to get rid of it. But now this thing is coming back and I have lesions on my feet, legs, hands and inside my mouth. I saw your post and was wondering how long do you recommend the medication to continue and what dosage?
