Lichen planus

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thats fine. It contains clobetasol propionate 0.05 % and should help. Use it twice daily.
Also use a moisturizer on the affected area before using this cream.
Alsk take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
Take care.
