Frequently asked questions compiled from the source disease page.
Lichen planus may affect the skin, mouth (oral cavity), nails, scalp, and genitals. Not all areas are affected in every individual. Most cases involve only the skin, while some may also involve the mouth, scalp, nails, or genitals. Only a small proportion of patients experience involvement of multiple sites.
Oral lichen planus may be more troublesome because it can cause pain, burning, and difficulty in eating or speaking. It is often more persistent and relatively more difficult to manage compared to skin lichen planus.
A small percentage of oral lichen planus cases may show malignant transformation over time. Reported risk is generally low (around 1–3%). Regular follow-up and, when indicated, biopsy are important for monitoring any suspicious changes.
Yes, lichen planus can recur, especially if treated only with symptomatic measures such as corticosteroids. Relapses are commonly observed after stopping treatment in many patients.
Homeopathic treatment is individualized and aims to address immune sensitivity and overall health. In clinical practice, many patients report improvement in symptoms and long-term disease control with homeopathy.
It is not appropriate to claim that every case can be cured. Clinical experience suggests that a significant proportion of patients may achieve good symptom control and recovery, but results vary from person to person
