Lichen planus is an inflammatory condition that affects the skin and mucous membranes. Its exact cause remains unknown, but it is believed to be associated with factors such as physical or emotional stress, skin injuries, viral infections like Hepatitis C, certain allergies, and medications. It is important to note that lichen planus can manifest differently depending on the individual affected and the specific areas of the body involved.

In Lucknow, instances of lichen planus are common. Apollo Hospitals in Lucknow have some of the best doctors specialising in lichen planus treatment. At Apollo Hospitals, a dedicated team of the best doctors specialising in oral lichen planus treatment provides comprehensive care for patients dealing with this inflammatory condition.

Types/Stages of Lichen Planus

Lichen planus can manifest in various forms:

  • Cutaneous Lichen Planus: This type primarily affects the skin, causing itchy, flat-topped bumps or lesions that can be purple or reddish.

  • Mucosal Lichen Planus: This type targets mucous membranes, particularly in the mouth. It can also involve other mucosal areas like the genitals.

  • Lichen Planopilaris: This type impacts the scalp, leading to hair loss and scarring around hair follicles.

  • Lichen Planus of the nails: This form alters the appearance and health of nails, causing ridges, grooves, or discolouration.

Symptoms of Lichen Planus

Symptoms associated with lichen planus vary depending on the affected area:

  • Skin manifestations include shiny, purple/red bumps, white lines, and itchy, scaly patches.

  • Mouth symptoms may include lacy white patches, sores, swelling, and pain.

  • Nails commonly exhibit thinning, ridged nails that split or lead to nail loss.

  • Scalp may show redness, irritation, and hair loss, often leading to scarring.

  • Genitals may exhibit bright red, painful areas.

Tests to Diagnose Lichen Planus

Diagnosis of lichen planus is typically made by the best doctors for lichen planus through:

  • Physical Examination: A thorough examination is done by a dermatologist or dentist to assess the appearance and distribution of lesions on the skin, mucous membranes, nails, or scalp.

  • Skin Biopsy: In some cases, a small sample of affected skin or mucous membrane may be taken for microscopic examination to confirm the diagnosis.

  • Blood Tests: These may be conducted to check for underlying conditions like hepatitis C, which can trigger lichen planus.

  • Patch Testing: This test helps identify any potential allergens that may trigger lichen planus lesions, especially in cases where contact dermatitis is suspected.

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

At Apollo Hospitals in Lucknow, our expert doctors for lichen planus treatment adopt a comprehensive approach to manage symptoms:

  • Topical Treatments: Corticosteroids and antihistamines are prescribed to reduce inflammation and itching in affected areas of the skin, mucous membranes, and scalp.

  • PUVA Light Therapy: This therapy may be used in some cases to suppress inflammation and promote the healing of skin lesions.

  • Retinoic Acid: Topical retinoids like retinoic acid can be effective in managing skin-related symptoms such as reducing the appearance of lesions and improving skin texture.

  • Tacrolimus or Pimecrolimus Ointments: These are topical calcineurin inhibitors that act as anti-inflammatory agents.

  • Oral or Systemic Medications: In severe or persistent cases, oral corticosteroids or other systemic medications (immunosuppressants like methotrexate or mycophenolate) may be employed.
