Cream for lichen planus treatment

Patients buy creams instead of searching a specialist or a homeopathy doctor for lichen planus treatment. At Dr. Mehta’s clinic, we believe that using creams is not a permanent solution to treat this disease.

Why the itch and rash recurs after creams

In this skin disease, your immunity is the main problem. Cream or an ointment will not correct this root cause. Hence the rash and itch keep coming once you stop using the creams.

Most of the ointments are steroid based. This isn’t healthy in the long run and can have serious side effects.

So, it is best to go for customized homeopathic medicines.

Effect of homeopathic medicines on lichen planus

Homeopathic medicines have proved very effective in treating lichen planus. Symptoms like itching & thick dark skin can disappear with homeopathic remedies. The effect and duration of therapy will depend on several factors –

What data is available to the treating homeopath?
Where are the lesions? Lesions on the genitals are stubborn and take more time to heal. Oral lesions take more time than skin lesions to heal.
Have you taken steroids and for how long? Steroids can suppress your illness for the time being. The rashes may emerge once you stop using it.
In how many areas of the skin were the dark spots present?
For how long have the symptoms been? The more long-lasting the symptoms are, the longer it takes for medicines to cure.

Google review by patient

I consulted Dr. Mehta in his homeopathic clinic in Mumbai for lichen planus treatment. Large thick patches of discolored skin on wrists, hands, knees, feet, and ankles were present. The entire back was covered with tiny spots. I was facing terrible itching and not to forget the social embarrassment. Today I can safely say I am much better in my lichen planus symptoms. The back lesions have gone. The thick marks on my hands and wrists have faded and there is no itching. There is almost 80% improvement in my lichen planus. I as a person am feeling better. I could find in Dr. Mehta not just a very good homeopathy doctor for lichen planus in Mumbai for my case but also a holistic healer. Thankful.
