A 27-years-old girl, Ms. M.S.V. (pin no- 26371) consulted at Life Force for her Lichen Planus complaints on the 1st August 2015. She had developed hyperpigmented & spherical spots scattered on her forearms, abdomen, back, both thighs, breast, and inguinal region since two months. She also had two small spots on her tongue. Her disease was progressing very rapidly since the last 2 months. She was taking homeopathic medicine for 15 days from another center, but she was not getting any significant results. Apart from Lichen Planus, she was also suffering from an anxiety disorder since three years. She had taken anxiolytics for 7 months, but from the last three months her all medicines were stopped.

She had a fair skin and was of average build. She was non-vegetarian by diet. She desired spicy food. She didn’t like fruits. Her thirst and perspiration were average. Her bowel movements were regular. Her sleep was sound. Her menses were regular and comfortable.
