My urticaria has improved. The hives are better than before. The rashes continue to appear, but with less severity. I have been taking the medicines for 8 months and they have been of great help.

N B, 18745, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates I, NB, started with some white lines in my mouth, they were very painful and gradually they were spreading. I was experiencing severe pain and burning in the oral mucosa which was more on taking hard food or taking sour, spicy food or hot and cold food in any form. The pain was so severe that it affected my appetite and I couldn’t eat properly due to it. I had started using a kids toothpaste as I couldn’t tolerate a adult toothpaste which caused severe burning sensation in my mouth. I was a diabetic which was under control with oral hypoglycemics. The skin was diagnosed as being LP and I was put on a course of cyclosporin for 4 months, but there was no change. In fact the LP spread further and also appeared in my vagina. I was very frustrated with this annoying complaint as the LP spots were very itchy and ugly. I approached Dr Shah’s clinic with this complaint. With in 2 months of starting the treatment, there was mild improvement in my burning. Within 6 months of starting the treatment, Dr Shah, I can say that there was significant improvement in my LP. There was 60% improvement in my mouth and 20% improvement in the vagina. The size of the old spots had reduced. There was no further spread in the LP. The pain and the burning in the mouth had reduced a lot and the white lines disappeared gradually. I am back to the adult toothpaste since I am able to brush my mouth without feeling the burn from the lichen planus. I am regaining my appetite as I am able to eat everything without much discomfort. I am very thankful to Dr Shah and his team for the all the help and for relieving me from this dreadful disease.

After this first batch of medicine I have drastically improved around 65%. I believe my itching has slowed down a lot...
