Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Linchen planus is autoimmune disease in which T cell induced apoptosis of epithelial cell occur.
There is no cure for linchen palnus.
Lesion itself resolve in 6-9 months.
You can take the following drug:
1. First line drug: Corticostroid: Oral prednisolone and topical betamethsone cream
2. Second line drug: Rrtinoids can be used.
3. Altenative drug: Taacrolimus and cyclosporin.
So take medicine for better response and avoid triggering factor of relapse.
Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
