need relief
by christine821, May 16, 2008 11:14AM
I have had Lichen Planus for about 20 years. At times its not as bad as others. This year it is particularly bad. I have tried many different treatments. The only one that seems to work is injections directly into the affeceted areas. Does anyone out there have a treatment that works for them? The itch is terrible, and I need relief!
Thank you!
Thank you!

It would be best to consult a skin specialist and discuss about immunosuppresant medications, and the role of UV therapy in your case.

Let us know about what the specialist advises and if you need any other information.
