A 56-year-old married lady, Mrs. V.P.J. (PIN: 34317) consulted at Life Force for her Lichen Planus complaints on the 11th of November 2017. Initially, she had developed dark blackish eruptions on her hand, however, later, they got spread on her whole body. At the time of consultation, her legs, hands, back, and abdomen were affected with Lichen Planus. Her oral cavity and genitals were not affected by it. Her eruptions were thick, raised, and dark brown with profound itching. She had taken conventional and Ayurvedic treatment for the same but didn’t get any satisfactory result.

She informed that her relief from the complaints had started improving gradually. Her itching had also reduced. In her blood reports, her glucose level was high.

Her backache used to get triggered often after exertion. She was advised to practice the exercises and not to lift any heavy load.
When the patient gave her feedback on 27th August 2018, her Lichen Planus eruptions were stable. No new eruptions had appeared. Her relief from itching and dryness had improved a lot. Her diabetes, hypertension, and backaches were stable. That time, she was going to meet with her son in the US.
