Lichen Planus

Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by purplish, itchy, flat-topped bumps. It often affects areas such as the wrists, ankles, and lower back, but can also involve the mucous membranes, leading to painful sores in the mouth or genital region. The exact cause remains unclear, but it is thought to be an autoimmune response. In dermatology, treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms, often utilizing topical corticosteroids, antihistamines, or systemic therapies for more severe cases. Cosmetologically, managing lichen planus involves gentle skincare to prevent irritation and using non-comedogenic products to maintain skin health. Patients are advised to avoid triggers, such as stress and certain medications, which may exacerbate the condition. Regular follow-up with a dermatologist is essential for effective management.
