A 25-year-old female from Jaipur, Ms. R.D. (PIN: 37301) started homeopathic treatment online from Life Force in the month of July 2018 for her complaint of Lichen Planus.  

She was suffering from it for the past four years. Lichen planus spots were present on her hands, legs, and back. She was experiencing a lot of itching on the skin. The itching was very intense all the time. She was experiencing the burning sensation on her skin, particularly after scratching the skin. She was on conventional medicines for the same, but her lichen planus was spreading and her relief from it was not improving at all. She also informed that, for the past few years, she was experiencing a lot of stress in her life and, after that, this problem has started. 

She had an average appetite with specific desires for sweets. Her thirst for water was average. Her sleep was normal, but she often used to get scary dreams. 

She was studying in a college. She was living with her parents. She was experiencing stress related to her studies often. She used to get quite tensed before her exams. She had a very sensitive nature. She used to turn anxious with regards to small or trivial things always. 

She never had any other major illnesses in the past. There was no major illness present in her family.

After studying the case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed her some research-based homeopathic medicines.
