How Can I Get Rid of Lichen Planus Naturally Without Steroids? - #14853
About six months ago, I started noticing these weird purple patches on my wrists and ankles. At first, they were just small, itchy spots, but over time, they started spreading. The itch was unbearable at night, and scratching only made them worse. I finally went to a dermatologist, and they diagnosed me with lichen planus. They prescribed steroid creams and antihistamines, but honestly, I don’t want to rely on them forever. The worst part is that lichen planus isn’t just on my skin – I also have white patches inside my mouth, and sometimes they burn when I eat spicy food. The doctor said this is called oral lichen planus, and there’s no permanent cure for it. I feel really frustrated because every time the rashes start healing, new ones appear somewhere else. I’ve read that Ayurveda focuses on internal healing rather than just suppressing symptoms. Can lichen planus be treated naturally by balancing the doshas? Are there any herbs or home remedies that actually work for the itching and discoloration? Also, should I make changes to my diet to prevent new outbreaks of lichen planus? Has anyone successfully treated lichen planus with Ayurveda? What worked best for you – herbs, detox therapies, or lifestyle changes? I’m really hoping to find a natural way to manage this without relying on steroid creams forever.
