Lichen planus is an autoimmune skin condition that is very stubborn and difficult to heal. At Life Force, we have treated many cases of Lichen planus with excellent recovery. Here’s one such case that found immense relief with Dr. Shah’s homeopathy.

After a year, she started developing lichen planus on her body. Initially, she contacted a dermatologist and started taking conventional medicines. She was prescribed local steroids and a few other medicines. She took those for some time and felt better, but, when she tried to stop those medicines, lichen planus started spreading rapidly.
