Hello,

I am quite empathetic for your Lichen planus problem. It is sometimes really distressing for young people like you to get anything unusual.

It depends on the area of involvement and related problem of itching to give most appropriate treatment accordingly.

Steroids at variable dose is the choice of treatment and depends on the condition of lesion to give the amount of steroids in safer limits.

You have been give quite good treatment and can follow the same under strict dermatological guidance.

Do strict sun protection as is one of the most important factor in causing lichen planus.

Take care.
