Lichen Plantus

[Mule4]

Hi everyone,

I was just diagnosed with lichen plantus. Is there anyone else out there that has it? If so, what is the prognosis and what helps heal it? I am still dealing with nerve damage from foot surgery 16 months later. Any suggestions or insight to give me on it?

Thanks...

Hi there Mule4. It's actually lichen planus and I had it once over 30 years ago on the palms of my hands. I remember that it was very itchy and I think I was given some sort of cream to put on it. I think it cleared up fairly quickly and left no sign of it having happened. It's not contagious and I don't think they know why people get it.

Hi mule 4 I had lichen planus in my mouth, my dentist noticed it and it was a white circle on the inside of the mouth, she sent me for a biopsy and it came back lichen planus, I hope you get it sorted out soon, your GP is the best person to see, l unless it's a dentist that you need

Hi

I have lichen Planus on my upper torso and mouth. I have had this for the past 4 years. There is no cure for this and is an auto immune disease. I cannot eat spicy food, hot food, fizzy drinks and have to be careful of crispy food. Try to avoid stress and get lots of quality sleep which will help tremendously. All the best hun. As a fellow sufferer I feel for you.

I have lichen planus, mostly in my mouth. Thought it was canker sores until a dermatologist identified it when it was unbearable. Huge raw sores on both cheeks. Did not respond to topical cotisone cream. Then I was given a biologic used for psoriasis, which works. Also had to have metal crowns replaced and I found it is triggered for me by NSAIDs and eating oranges! One of several autoimmune conditions. And fibro. In case this helps someone.

That's interesting about food triggers. My grandson's skin reacts badly to tomatoes and especially tomato ketchup. His dad has psoriasis so not looking good on the auto immune front. Thanks for sharing your info.

Thanks for all your responses...I appreciate the help...I was put on a liquid rinse for my mouth since it burns to brush teeth...now I am getting severe calf and foot cramps in the night...it never ends and could someone tell me how to lock the messages so they are private...someone mentioned my messages are open to the public

So that's what it is on the sole of my right foot ! Been driving me mad on and off for months. I thought it was something like athletes foot, wondered why cream and spray weren't helping.

I've looked at the images on google and read up the symptoms and I definitely think I have it too. Auto immune things seem to go together so not surprised.

Thanks for the initial info.
