Hi there - great news -lichen planus has no known cure really though they are researching it. Someone I know who's had it for years said there's a correlation between it and stress - and I know when I was orinially diagnosed he said it looked like lichen planus and live probiotics helped - I did have an area that was scc of corse but the probiotics did help the other inflamed areas. Ask your dr. And do a bit of research on your own and definitely keep an eye on the area... But so happy for you!! Take care!
