मैं समझ सकता हूँ कि यह स्थिति आपके लिए कितनी निराशाजनक और भावनात्मक रूप से थकाऊ रही है, खासकर जब आपने इतने लंबे समय तक विभिन्न चिकित्सा प्रणालियों को आजमाया है और राहत नहीं मिली है… लाइकेन प्लानस पिगमेंटोसस कोई साधारण पिगमेंटेशन की समस्या नहीं है, यह त्वचा और रक्त की एक गहरी बैठी हुई सूजन की स्थिति है, इसलिए बाहरी उपचार या अल्पकालिक इलाज अक्सर परिणाम नहीं देते हैं। यह कोई ऐसी स्थिति नहीं है जो जल्दी ठीक हो जाती है, लेकिन हाँ, यह प्रबंधनीय है और सही दीर्घकालिक दृष्टिकोण के साथ इसे नियंत्रित और सुधारा जा सकता है। आयुर्वेद में हम इसे सिर्फ त्वचा पर काले धब्बे के रूप में नहीं देखते, बल्कि एक आंतरिक असंतुलन के रूप में देखते हैं जो बाहर परिलक्षित होता है। मौसम की संवेदनशीलता, गर्मी का तनाव, पाचन समस्याएं, प्रतिरक्षा और लंबे समय से चल रही सूजन सभी एक भूमिका निभाते हैं, इसलिए उपचार आंतरिक प्रणाली को शांत करने, रक्त को शुद्ध करने, यकृत के कार्य का समर्थन करने, गर्मी को कम करने और त्वचा को अंदर से ठीक करने पर केंद्रित होता है। दवाएं आपके शरीर के प्रकार, पाचन, मल पैटर्न, नींद, तनाव स्तर और हार्मोनल संतुलन के आधार पर चुनी जाती हैं। आंतरिक दवाओं के साथ, बाहरी अनुप्रयोगों की सलाह दी जाती है, कठोर क्रीम नहीं। सूर्य से सुरक्षा बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है, गर्मी, घर्षण, परफ्यूम, कॉस्मेटिक्स, स्क्रबिंग और घरेलू उपचारों के साथ प्रयोग करने से बचना आवश्यक है। आहार एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। ताजा पका हुआ भोजन, मसालेदार, तला हुआ, खट्टा, किण्वित और पैकेज्ड खाद्य पदार्थों से बचना त्वचा को स्थिर करने में मदद करता है। तनाव प्रबंधन भी उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण है, भावनात्मक तनाव पिगमेंटेशन और सूजन को बढ़ा सकता है। पहले खुजली, जलन और फैलाव कम होता है, फिर रंग धीरे-धीरे हल्का होता है। निरंतरता महत्वपूर्ण है और बार-बार उपचार बदलना नहीं चाहिए। आशा मत खोइए, इस स्थिति के लिए धैर्य, उचित मार्गदर्शन और एक समग्र योजना की आवश्यकता होती है, आक्रामक उपचार के बजाय। यदि सही तरीके से प्रबंधित किया जाए तो रोग को स्थिर किया जा सकता है और जीवन की गुणवत्ता में काफी सुधार हो सकता है।

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR CONCERN
LICHEN PLANUS PIGMENTOSUS IS A CHRONIC PIGMENTARY CONDITION AND I WANT TO BE VERY HONEST AND PROFESSIONAL WITH YOU IT IS A CONTROLLABLE AND MANAGEABLE CONDITION BUT IT IS NOT A QUICKLY OR EASILY REVERSIBLE ONE
FROM AN AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW THIS CONDITION USUALLY INVOLVES LONG STANDING IMBALANCE OF HEAT AND DRYNESS IN THE BODY ALONG WITH DEEP SEATED SKIN AND BLOOD TISSUE INVOLVEMENT WHICH IS WHY THE PIGMENTATION APPEARS DARK AND PERSISTS FOR YEARS
COMPLETE ERADICATION OF EXISTING PIGMENTATION IS DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS SEVERE AND PRESENT FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS HOWEVER SIGNIFICANT CONTROL PREVENTION OF FURTHER SPREAD AND GRADUAL LIGHTENING OF THE SKIN IS POSSIBLE WITH CONSISTENT LONG TERM TREATMENT AND STRICT LIFESTYLE DISCIPLINE
IMPROVEMENT IN COLOR HAPPENS SLOWLY OVER MONTHS AND NOT IN WEEKS THE PRIMARY GOALS OF TREATMENT ARE TO STOP PROGRESSION REDUCE INTERNAL HEAT STABILIZE THE SKIN AND SUPPORT NATURAL REPAIR MECHANISMS
AVOIDING DIRECT SUN EXPOSURE HEAT STRONG COSMETICS HAIR DYES PERFUMES AND CHEMICAL BASED SKIN PRODUCTS IS VERY IMPORTANT EVEN SMALL TRIGGERS CAN MAINTAIN THE CONDITION
IN AYURVEDA SUCH CONDITIONS ARE HANDLED WITH INTERNAL MEDICATION EXTERNAL CARE AND DIETARY REGULATION TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE AND ALLOW SLOW RECOVERY
IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A COMPLETE AND RAPID RETURN TO ORIGINAL SKIN COLOR THAT EXPECTATION NEEDS TO BE REALISTICALLY MODIFIED HOWEVER IF YOU ARE COMMITTED TO LONG TERM CARE IT IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE CONDITION AND ACHIEVE VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT IN SKIN TONE AND QUALITY
CONSISTENCY PATIENCE AND GUIDED TREATMENT ARE THE KEY FACTORS IN MANAGING THIS CONDITION SUCCESSFULLY
Take Arogyavardhani vati 2 bd Take livtone 2 bd Take chandraprabhavati 2 bd Nasya cow ghee 2 drop each nostril 2 times day 6 am and 6 pm Apply cow milkk with jayfal and wash your face
Hlo,
I understand how distressing Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP) can be, especially when it affects the face. I’ll explain this clearly from an Ayurvedic perspective and then give you a short, safe Ayurvedic prescription.
Is LPP curable? - In Ayurveda, LPP is considered a chronic but controllable condition. - Complete reversal of pigmentation is slow, but - Disease progression can be stopped, inflammation can be controlled, and - Pigmentation can gradually lighten (40–70%) with consistent treatment and lifestyle correction. - Since you’ve had it for 2 years, it is considered “Jirna Avastha” (chronic stage), so patience is important.
Ayurvedic Understanding (Simple) - LPP resembles Vyanga / Neelika with Pitta–Vata dominance. Main causes in Ayurveda: - Pitta dushti → excess heat causing dark pigmentation - Rakta dushti → blood impurities - Vata association → dryness, chronicity, poor healing - This leads to deep-seated pigmentation without itching or scaling (typical of LPP).
Treatment Principle - Pitta & Rakta shodhana (cooling + blood purification) - Skin nourishment - Prevent further melanocyte stimulation
Ayurvedic Prescription (6–8 weeks) 1️⃣ Oral Medicines
✔ Mahamanjishthadi Kwath 15 ml + equal warm water Twice daily after meals
✔ Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet twice daily after meals
✔ Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tablet once daily after lunch
These help reduce inflammation, purify blood, and control pigmentation.
2️⃣ External Application (Very Important) ✔ Kumkumadi Tailam Apply 2–3 drops at night only Gentle massage, wash off in the morning
⚠️ Avoid daytime use if going into sunlight.
Diet & Lifestyle (Essential) Avoid completely: ❌ Spicy, fried foods ❌ Fermented foods (curd at night, pickles) ❌ Tea/coffee excess ❌ Cosmetics, fairness creams, steroid creams
Prefer: ✔ Cooling foods (lauki, cucumber, coconut water) ✔ Ghee in small quantity ✔ Plenty of water ✔ Regular sleep before 11 PM
Expected Results 4–6 weeks: No new darkening, skin calmness 3 months: Gradual lightening 6 months: Noticeable improvement in facial tone
⚠️ Pigmentation fades slowly from the edges, not suddenly.
Important Note Do not stop modern treatment suddenly Avoid frequent chemical peels or lasers during active LPP If itching, burning, or redness appears → treatment needs adjustment
Tq
1.Haridra khand 1 tsp once daily with warm milk 2.Neemghan vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Arogyavardhini vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 4.Mahamanjisthadi kwath 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 5.Kumkumadi taila- massage gently with this oil and leave it overnight
⚠️ Important Considerations - Consistency is key: Ayurvedic medicines often take 2–3 months to show visible improvement. - Avoid triggers: Excess heat, spicy food, stress, and harsh sun exposure worsen pigmentation. - Dietary guidance: Favor cooling foods (cucumber, coconut water, leafy greens), avoid fried/oily items. - Lifestyle: Gentle yoga, pranayama (esp. Sheetali and Anulom Vilom), and adequate sleep support healing.
HELLO,
WHAT IS LPP? Lichen Plans pigmentation is a chronic, progressive dermatological condition characterised by: -Dark brown to grey black pigmentation on sun-exposed or flexural areas - often triggered or worsened by sunlight, heat or inflammation
AYURVEDIC PATHOGENESIS
PITTA DOSHA= heat, inflammation, and pigmentation RAKTA DHATU DUSHTI= impaired blood tissue function- responsible for skin color KUSHTA(skin disorder)= LPP can be categorised under minor Kshudra kushtha VYANGA= localised pigmentation due to pitta-raita vitiation AMA= toxin accumulation due to weakness digestion BHRAJAKA PITTA DUSHTI= disruption in skin pigmentation metabolism(skin pitta sub-type)
So, the root of the disease lies in- -vitiated pitta and rakta dhatu - ama(toxic byproducts of improper digestion) - sun exposure and stress aggravating bhrajak pitta
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF LPP

In Ayurveda it will take longer time to show results. The colour of the affected skin area will lighten with time and also spread can be controlled . Strict diet, and regular medicines are a must.
In Ayurveda, Lichen Planus Pigmentosus is related to Pitta imbalance, rakta (blood) dushti, and accumulation of ama (toxins).
Treatment focuses on cooling the body, improving digestion, and preventing further pigmentation. Results are slow but steady with discipline.
✅ Foods to include Freshly cooked, home food Rice, chapati, simple dal Vegetables like bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, ash gourd Green leafy vegetables (in moderation) Fruits like apple, pear, papaya, pomegranate Coconut water (if digestion is good) Plenty of plain water
❌ Foods to avoid Very spicy, oily, fried foods Bakery items, junk food, fast food Fermented foods (idli, dosa, curd, pickles) Excess tea, coffee Sour foods (vinegar, excess lemon, tamarind) Processed and packaged foods
Lifestyle advice Avoid direct sun exposure; use physical protection (cap, scarf) Avoid cosmetics, perfumes, hair dyes on affected areas Do not scrub or rub the skin Avoid tight clothing and friction Sleep early and manage stress (stress worsens pigmentation)
🧘♀️Simple Ayurvedic daily habits🧘♀️ Eat meals on time Avoid overeating and late-night meals Light dinner before 7:30–8 pm Gentle pranayama like Anulom Vilom daily Mild yoga and walking are beneficial
