Hi,

Lichen planus has no cure, but different treatments can help relieve your symptoms and speed healing. Possible treatments include Antihistamine medicine to relieve itching and steroids to reduce any inflammation. Moisturiser can be used to reduce dryness and itching.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
