Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease that can affect the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. On the skin, the lichen planus usually appears as itchy, flat-headed bumps that develop over several weeks. In the mouth, vagina, and other areas covered with a mucous membrane, lichen planus produces white and jagged areas, sometimes accompanied by painful wounds. Hepatitis C frequently leads to lichen planus. Furthermore, some specific drugs having arsenic, bismuth, or gold as their composition may also be responsible for its onset. Mostly lichen planus is relatively mild and affected individuals cured without any special treatment.
Most people can deal with mild and typical cases of lichen plan at home without medical treatment. If the illness causes severe pain or itching, you may need medications. To cure the unpleasant appearance of the rashes topical corticosteroid creams or topical calcineurin inhibitors like may be recommended.
The most common symptoms are listed below:
Lichen planus results when an individual’s immune system starts attacking the skin cells or the mucous membranes. The reason the immune system attacks is still unknown. Furthermore, lichen planus is not contagious.
There are some triggers that medical research has found. Hepatitis C infection and flu vaccine have can trigger this reaction. Furthermore, some chemicals, pain relievers (including Advil, Motrin IB and naproxen) and certain heart medications have also ben identified.
Lichen planus can affect any person regardless of their age or race. While lichen planus could affect all ages and all races, research has shown that it is more common in people with certain characteristics; middle-aged people, females and suffering from liver diseases like cirrhosis or hepatitis C can increase the risk.
No guaranteed method or measure has yet surfaced to completely avoid getting lichen planus. However, one could modestly lower vulnerability by eating a healthy diet filled with several vegetables and fruits. Quitting smoking and restricting alcohol intake has also been recommended.
