How To Get Rid Of Lichen Planus Scars All Over Body?
Brief Answer:
combination of hydroquinone, tretinoin and flucinolone acetonide
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
Lichen planus often results in hyperpigmented scar at the end. Most of the times, topical steroids reduce the pigmentation. But in cases, where pigmentation is left behind , I prefer to advise topical combination cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin and flucinolone acetonide/mometasone.
It is applied strictly in night time and in minimum possible amount precisely over the pigmented part only.
Usually pigmentation responds within 2-3 weeks. Slowly it fades and ultimately is completely gone.
You maay discuss this with your doctor.
I am sure that he would agree with this.
Take care.
