Tired of Lichen Planus That Keeps Coming Back?

Lichen planus can be frustrating because it may come in repeated flare-ups. Some patients notice intense itching, dark patches, thickened skin, mouth ulcers, scalp involvement, or nail changes. In many cases, the condition may worsen when ignored or treated with random creams.
The exact cause may vary, and it can sometimes be linked to immune response, stress, certain medicines, infections, or skin sensitivity. That is why proper dermatology evaluation is important before starting treatment.
