Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP) can cause pigmentation, itching, and discomfort, especially around areas like the chin and neck. Ayurveda can offer holistic solutions for managing this condition, aiming to balance the doshas and promote skin healing. To address pigmentation and itching, you can try using Ayurvedic herbs like Neem, Turmeric, and Manjistha, which are known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and skin-healing properties. A paste made from turmeric and sandalwood can help reduce pigmentation and soothe the skin. For the itching, applying aloe vera gel or coconut oil can provide immediate relief and moisture to the skin. Additionally, herbs like Guduchi and Triphala can help detoxify the body, which may assist in healing the skin from within. It’s also important to avoid triggers that may worsen the condition, such as hot, spicy foods, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure. Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and E can support skin health and healing. Since LPP is a chronic condition, working with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner can help create a personalized plan that includes internal treatments, topical applications, and lifestyle adjustments for optimal results. This approach may complement other treatments you're exploring, like allopathy.

Navigating skin issues like lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) can be both frustrating and painful, especially when the itching gets intense. Ayurveda can indeed offer support, though patience is key.
First, let's think about those black patches you mentioned, particularly on the chin and neck. In Ayurveda, skin is closely connected to the liver and the overall balance of doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata doshas. It’s important to calm these doshas down through both diet and lifestyle.
For your diet, aim to include more cooling and detoxifying foods. Things like cucumber, aloe vera juice, and amla (Indian gooseberry) might help. Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, and fried items as they can aggravate Pitta and cause more itching. Drink plenty of water to help the body flush out toxins.
Applying a paste of sandalwood and turmeric mixed with rose water can help. Do this maybe once or twice a day, but make sure to check if your skin reacts well to it first. Sometimes simple coconut or sesame oil can soothe the skin too.
Your lifestyle might need some adjustments as well. Stress can flare things up, so finding some stress-relieving activities like gentle yoga or meditation could be beneficial. They help in calming the mind, which indirectly calms the skin.
When itching is unbearable, it might worsen the condition if you scratch it too much. Consider soaking a cloth in cold water and placing it on the itchy areas for some relief.
Since you mentioned trying other treatment paths, it's okay to look into allopathy while incorporating Ayurvedic practices. Just keep in mind that any treatment should not delay critical care if symptoms worsen.
Always a good idea to work closely with a healthcare provider who understands your situation deeply. They'll help you create a plan that suits your specific needs. It's a journey, not a quick fix. Give it time and be gentle with yourself.
