Lichen Planus is an inflammatory skin condition that can affect the skin, mouth, genital areas, scalp, and nails. It commonly appears as small, flat-topped, shiny, reddish-purple bumps that may cause significant itching or discomfort. When the condition affects the mouth or other mucous membranes, it may cause painful sores, white patches, or irritation. Nail involvement can also lead to ridges, grooves, thinning, or brittleness.
At New Touch Skin & Hair Care Clinic, we provide specialized diagnosis and treatment for Lichen Planus through personalized dermatological care. Since the exact cause is not completely understood and the condition may be associated with an immune system reaction, our dermatologists carefully evaluate your symptoms, affected areas, and possible triggers before developing an individualized treatment plan. Treatment focuses on controlling inflammation, relieving itching and discomfort, promoting healing, and preventing complications.
Our dermatologists have experience diagnosing and managing inflammatory skin conditions, including different forms of Lichen Planus.
We carefully examine affected skin, mucous membranes, nails, or scalp and may recommend additional testing or a biopsy when required to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment may include topical corticosteroids, oral medications, phototherapy, or other therapies depending on the location and severity of the condition.
We provide appropriate care for Lichen Planus affecting the skin, mouth, genital areas, scalp, and nails, with treatment adapted to each affected area.
Regular follow-ups allow our dermatologists to monitor healing, manage recurring symptoms, adjust treatment when necessary, and provide long-term skincare guidance.
