90% Recovery From Chronic Lichen Planus Found With Homeopathy

Lichen Planus: Lichen planus is an inflammatory condition of the skin and mucus membranes. Lichen planus occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks cells of the skin or mucous membranes.
On the skin, lichen planus appears as purplish, itchy, and flat-topped bumps. On mucous membranes, such as in the mouth, it forms lacy, white patches, sometimes, even painful sores.
A 67-year-old female patient, Mrs. S. M. (PIN: 34633) came to Life Force with the complaints of lichen Planus on 4th December 2017.
She was suffering from Lichen Planus for 2.5 years and had eruptions on her scalp, back, waist, hands, in the mouth, and on the genitals too. She had small red eruptions along with itching and burning. Her skin was dry. And, she was experiencing difficulty in eating and drinking. Her oral eruption would get aggravated with slight touch and after eating spicy food. 
She was applying steroid cream, which she was asked to stop.
She was a non-vegetarian and liked to eat spicy food. She had an excessive thirst.
By nature, she was irritable, used to get angry easily, and a perfectionist.
After a detailed case analysis, she was prescribed research-based medicines for lichen planus.
Follow-Ups:
On the first follow-up on 16th January 2018, her eruptions on genitals had increased while other eruptions were as it is. The rise in eruptions was due to steroid withdrawal, which was explained to the patient when she first visited us.
On 26th April 2018, she said that she is experiencing a 20% improvement in relief in her skin condition. All her eruptions had decreased, but some new eruptions were developing on her hands. 
In June 2018, she said that she was experiencing a 40% improvement in relief in lichen planus. Her eruptions had reduced, and itching and burning had also reduced.
