Best Lichen planus Doctors in Bangalore

Lichen Planus is a chronic condition that affects the skin as well as mucous membranes, such as those in the mouth. It is an inflammatory disease triggered by an autoimmune response, where the body’s immune T-cells mistakenly attack proteins within the skin. The root cause of this autoimmune reaction remains unknown. However, several factors might contribute to such a response, including genetic predisposition, emotional or physical stress, injury to the skin, localised skin diseases, viral infections like Hepatitis C, allergies to certain substances, and specific medications. Lichen Planus can manifest in various types and may affect different parts of the body, causing symptoms ranging from minor discomfort to intense itching.

In the bustling metropolitan city of Bangalore, known for its diverse population and fast-paced lifestyle, a rise in stress-induced ailments is not surprising. Among these ailments is Lichen Planus. Apollo Hospitals in Bangalore house some of the best doctors for lichen planus treatment, ensuring effective care for residents grappling with this condition. The detailed examination and diagnosis processes followed at Apollo Hospitals will be elucidated in the subsequent sections.

Types/Stages of Lichen Planus

There are several clinical presentations of Lichen Planus:

  • Cutaneous Lichen Planus: The most common type, characterised by shiny, purple-red papules often found on the wrists, lower back, and legs.

  • Mucosal Lichen Planus: Affects mouth, vagina, or penis and manifests as a lacy white rash.

  • Lichen Planopilaris: This type results in scarring hair loss on the scalp.

  • Lichen Planus of the Nails: Leads to nail deformities.

  • Lichen Planus Pigmentosus: Features dark-coloured patches on the skin.

  • Lichenoid Drug Eruption: Caused by specific medications, it mimics the symptoms of lichen planus.

Symptoms of Lichen Planus

Lichen Planus can showcase a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Formation of purplish, flat-topped bumps.

  • Development of lesions or rashes that can cause intense itching.

  • Painful blisters in the case of erosive lichen planus.

  • Changes in the skin’s pigmentation, often resulting in darker patches.

  • Hair loss and scalp discolouration.

Tests to Diagnose Lichen Planus

At Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore, a range of tests are employed by the best oral lichen planus treatment doctors to diagnose Lichen Planus. These include:

  • Skin Biopsy: A small piece of affected tissue is studied under a microscope.

  • Blood Tests: These are done to check for health problems related to Lichen Planus like Hepatitis C.

  • Allergy Tests: Aimed at identifying any triggers that might be causing the disease.

Treatment or Surgery Options for Lichen Planus at Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore

The doctors for cutaneous lichen planus at Apollo Hospitals offer an array of treatment options designed to manage the symptoms effectively:

  • Topical Corticosteroid Creams or Ointments: Used to reduce inflammation and itching.

  • Oral Antihistamines: Prescribed to control itching.

  • Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors such as Tacrolimus or Pimecrolimus: These help downregulate the immune response and reduce inflammation.

  • Intralesional Steroid Injections: Used for localised, thick lesions.
