Hello Dr. Grief, I have had Lichen Planus For Four Years. I t was secondary from Impetigo that I cought from my Husband, nothing worked to even clear it up, I crathed it a lot and made it bleed , I have it on my arms and mostly on my lower legs a little on my upper legs and a few on my upper arms, the effected areas seem to be flattening out and peeling a slight scale and when that happens it itches so bad, I used Sarna Sensitive Lotion for a long time and it seemed to keep it under control but, I started getting a very slow heart beat when I would go to sleep at night and I found out that The 1% Hydrochloride in The Sarna was causing this and so I had to stop using it, I am now using Aveeno Baby every day lotion and it seems to be helping a little but, when I take it of it really starts to itch. My question is should I keep using the Aveeno or is it making the LP to soft from the lotion? Thank you so much for your answer. Laurie
