A 61-year-old male, Mr. S.M. (PIN: 32952) from Mumbai visited Kemp’s corner branch of Life Force and started homeopathic treatment from us in July 2017 for his complaint of Lichen Planus.
He was suffering from lichen planus since the past 1 year. There were lesions present on his hands, legs, stomach, and private parts. He was experiencing a lot of itching on the skin. The itching was very intense all the time. Hyper-pigmentation was present on the skin. The spots of lichen planus were rapidly spreading all over his body. He had taken conventional medicine in the past but he got no relief with it. He also had high uric acid levels for which he was taking allopathic medication.
He had an average appetite with a specific desire for non-vegetarian food. His thirst for water was average. His perspiration was profuse and offensive. His sleep was normal. He was tall and well-built in appearance.
