how do you get rid of lichen nitiduos on the penis shaft, hands, and face? Also i would like to know if the lips are affected by this infection too. I am starting to form small holes on my upper lip; I've also had two cold sores on my lip but, i was tested negative for hsv-1 and 2 (blood and urine test) several times. Last but certainly not least i've been too three family doctors two dermatologist and four......i guess practictioners (if thats even how you spell it) at local planned parenthoods and havent been diagnosed with anything. I've diagnosed myself with lichen nitidus and I'm anxiously anticipating the cure.....there is a cure right? its not a disease.....is it? i mean come on...... the answer is no....yes? or yes its no? No? Yes? Maybe? dont say maybe i hate maybe.
