G.B.B. , USAI, G.B.B. PIN: 18295, was suffering from Lichen Planopilaris confirmed by biopsy since September 2009 (about two years ago). The first spot which appeared was like a circle, about 4 centimeters in diameter; the second spot which was close to the first one was about 3 centimeters in diameters (not perfect circles, more irregular than circles). These spots started on the scalp, first one spot in the September of 2009, which calmed down after 3 months of treatment (Conventional treatment: Plaquenil and Kenalog spray) and then in August/September 2010, the first spot reappeared and then I developed the second spot. I had moderate to mild itching associated with the red spots and some emotional stress since childhood. In October 2010, I approached Life Force Center, Dr Rajesh Shah’s Clinic. My case details were taken online and I was made to fill a Questionnaire regarding my medical details and my life stresses. After starting the treatment, I was prescribed 4 months of medicines. By the completion of 4 months, on 28 January 2011, I had responded great. I was able to stop all steroids within 2 weeks of starting treatment. All the itching and burning and inflammation had stopped. My hair started re-growing little by little. I’d say there was around 60% improvement. I was prescribed the next set of medicines for 4 months. My Progress report of 13 June 2011 I had great improvement. I would say 100% - no symptoms, although not all my hair has come back.
J. S., KS, USAMy lichen planus is getting better, yeah. My back has stopped itching, my arms have quit itching and the bumps of lichen planus have flattened out. In fact, my skin on my arms almost feels normal. The healing is continuing from the top down, my thighs don't itch and the bumps have gone down. I still have quite a bit of raised up places on my legs, but the itching is getting a lot better.
S. K., IndiaSignificant improvement. There was not severe episode of disease since the start of medication. Before starting of medication stool was loose all the time with frequency of passing 8-10 times per day. Now frequency has come down to 4 times a day. Stool is well formed except in the beginning some mucus mixed with blood comes. No severe relapse. Hb count has improved to 13.5 against 9.5 earliar. Softening/cracking of nails normalised. I have not taken steroids since last three months.
