What is Lichen Planus?

Lichen Planus is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the skin and mucous membranes. It is non-infectious but can be persistent and uncomfortable. While the exact cause is unknown, factors like stress, genetic predisposition, and certain medications can trigger or worsen the condition.

Common Causes of Lichen Planus:

• Autoimmune responses where the immune system attacks healthy tissues.
• Stress and emotional imbalances.
• Allergic reactions to certain medications or dental materials.
• Viral infections (like Hepatitis C) in some cases.
• Genetic predisposition.

Symptoms

• Severe itching, especially at night.
• Lesions commonly appear on the wrists, ankles, lower back, and legs.

 On the Mucous Membranes (Mouth, Genitals):

• Burning sensation, especially when eating spicy or acidic foods.
