                             Click for Homeopathic Treatment

    The major treatment for Lichen Planus in the conventional medicine consists of the use of steroids or cortisone in various forms. Local application with cream, oral or injectibel cortisone, steroid mouthwash (in case of oral Lichen Planus) or cortisone gel (for genital Lichen Planus) are usually administered depending on the location of affection. Sometimes certain antihistaminic agents are used to control itching. Depending on the indications, one of the following measures is applied, as per the modern medicine.

    • Corticosteroids
    • Symptomatic treatment for itching
    • Dapsone
    • PUVA
    • Cyclosporine
    • Surgery
    It should be noted that the major and the prime line of treatment in conventional medicine are corticosteroids, which is more often a suppressive measure.

    Major concerns, limitations and adverse effects of Cortisone can be summarized as as under:

    • Temporary and superficial relief. Lichen Planus resurfaces in most cases on stopping its use.
    • Dependency
    • Rebound effects: More severe eruptions on the same or other parts of the body on stopping cortisone
    • Systemic side effects on various body organs
    • Suppressive effects on immune system
