Lichen planus

[louda]

Hi not posted in a long long time! Just wondering if anyone also has lichen planus? Just been told I may have this as well as my fibro and diabetes life's interesting to say the least.

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are suffering with this and I have pasted you a link to the NHS Choices cache on this condition:

nhs.uk/conditions/lichen-pl...

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

yes I have had it twice. I think I was very unlucky....I wont sugar coat it ..its awful I had it all over my body even on my eyes. GP gave me creams and lotions which did help eventually as it took a while for them to diagnose.

I think at the time it was pretty severe. My body calmed down eventually although I still have to use the wash and cream as soap products really irritate it.

I also found temperature change particularly heat made it worse.

my mum had it too which is rare as its not hereditary.

I hope you that yours wasn't as bad an experience as mine and the medicine gives you some relief.

You have my sympathy. I suppose it's no comfort there's no apparent link to either condition. Look at Ken's link. I was going to post the same one. Good luck

Thankyou for your replies the worse thing about this is I have it in my mouth,scalp and ....well..... I find a bag of frozen peas to sit on gives relief to the other place I have it!! I assure my daughter when she comes for dinner that they are not second hand!!!!!!! My scalp bothers me the most as my hair is falling out dramaticaly but I find a good sense of humour is the only way to cope....there are some nice wigs out there so I can be Dolly Parton on Mondays and maybe Janet Streetporter on Tuesday's .......gentle hugs to all....x
