Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails. It is considered an autoimmune disorder, meaning that the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.

The exact cause of lichen planus is not known, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. Some potential triggers or contributing factors include certain medications (such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, beta-blockers, and certain antibiotics), viral infections (like hepatitis C), and emotional stress.

The characteristic symptoms of lichen planus include:

1. Skin lesions: These are often itchy, flat-topped, and purple-colored bumps that may appear in clusters. The lesions can occur anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the wrists, ankles, lower back, and genitals.

2. Oral lesions: Lichen planus can affect the inside of the mouth, causing white, lacy patches, open sores, or painful ulcers. These oral lesions can make eating and drinking uncomfortable.

3. Scalp and nail involvement: Lichen planus can lead to hair loss, especially on the scalp, and may cause thinning or ridging of the nails.

Diagnosis of lichen planus is usually made based on the appearance of the skin or mucosal lesions. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment for lichen planus aims to relieve symptoms and manage the condition. Depending on the severity and location of the lesions, treatment options may include:

1. Topical corticosteroids: These are commonly used to reduce inflammation and itching in mild cases.

2. Oral medications: In more severe cases, oral corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs may be prescribed to control the immune response.

3. Topical or oral retinoids: These medications derived from vitamin A can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

4. Immune-modulating drugs: Drugs such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus may be used topically to suppress the immune response in the affected areas.

5. Symptomatic relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers, antihistamines, and topical numbing agents can help alleviate discomfort and itching. LichenPlanus
