Is Alopecia Areata And Lichen Planus Curable?

Hello Dr.,

I have been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata & Lichen Planus. Just wanted more info on the co-existence of these two conditions and whether it is curable. I have hair loss across my body & also patches in my skin which look like it has been burnt.

Also, What is Vitilex 150 used for?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi, welcome to HCM,
alopecia areata is a autoimmune disease.
etiology of lichen planus is unknown, but it is thought to be a T cell mediated autoimmune disease. but these two disorders are rarely associated.
alopecia areata is associated with thyroiditis, diabetes, vitiligo etc.
vitilex 150 contains levamisole commonly used to treat parasitic worm infestation. it is also a cellular immune enhancer and this property is utilized in some disease like vitiligo, chronic wound, lichen planus etc.
hope this will help you.
thanks
