Best Doctors for Lichen planus in Hyderabad

Lichen Planus is a chronic skin condition characterised by inflammation. This condition originates from an autoimmune disorder where T-cells, a type of white blood cell, mistakenly attack an unidentified protein in the skin. Factors that could potentially trigger this condition include genetics, emotional or physical stress, skin injuries, certain viral infections such as hepatitis C, allergies, and specific drugs.

In Hyderabad city, with its bustling lifestyle and environmental factors like pollution and heat, residents may experience heightened stress levels which can trigger conditions like lichen planus. Fortunately, the best doctors for Lichen Planus treatment can be found at Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad.
