Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lichen Planus is a skin disease which is characterized by multiple purple itchy lesions all over body. Treatment includes steroid cream application and steroid tablets. It is not usually related to food but it may be caused by drug intake. Discuss with your dermatologist for treatment options depending on severity of your disease.

Hope I have answered your query.
