Homeopathic Care for Lichen Planus
Gentle, Individualized Support for Chronic Skin and Mucosal Symptoms
Lichen Planus is an inflammatory condition that can affect the skin, mouth, nails, scalp, and sometimes other areas. It often appears as itchy, purplish, flat-topped bumps on the skin or as uncomfortable white patches inside the mouth.
Although Lichen Planus is not contagious, it can be persistent, uncomfortable, and emotionally distressing for many individuals.
At Dr Skin, our homeopathic approach focuses on gentle, personalized care aimed at long-term symptom management and skin comfort.
