Watch your vitamin D intake. I have had vaginal lesions before, and that is what worked for me. I discovered it on accident. I was put on prednisone and since it depletes vitamin D stores, I was given a vitamin D supplement, which I failed to take the first 2 weeks. I noticed a great improvement and when I started the Vit D supplement, it flared up worst than before. Ever since then, I cut out Vit D from my diet whenever I am getting an outbreak, and it works. My father has lichen planus too, and it works for him as well. Vitamin D is found in eggs, milk, fotified cereals, liver, fish, multivitamins, and sunlight. I am currently having another outbreak because of my prenatal vitamins.Replied by Mike (Alaska, Ak Us) on 12/18/2010
I owl like to say I may have figured out cure method that may take about 2-3weeks thanks to information given to cover all bases one thing that no one has met ion and with all met ion on this site I put it together and I have seen results like really in like 2 weeks check this step one creams don't work it only allows it to spread. Let me remind you I have this every wear except my privets and face and not like any pictures seen. I mean I think I am the worst case yet. I haven't seen any worse then my case. Any ways Oral steroids work the best hands down but no doctor wants to prescribe me. And even when I asked only creams and it never work so I thought why cream try a powder gold bond worked stops itching and I only used it after a shower when dry max strength is what I used but befor you use it use coco butter light application.
Eat lots of oat meal
1 500mg niacin inositol hexanicotinate daily
2daily garlic1000 mg ode roles
And if a doctor prescribes you hydroxychlor follow dosage
Man I seen it and felt improvements in just one day doing all this. When I am done an it goss away I will relax all info because I think I just cut down the lichen planus life cycle in half Mabel faster this is second day on this. And it's clearing up. So i keep every one posted.Replied by Wilma (Dickinson, Texas, USA) on 02/29/2012
I have this miserable condition and have stumbled on a remedy for relief of the pain but wish it could be cured. No person can appreciate the intense pain unless they have suffered with it. I have it all over except head and personal areas. I take the used coffee grounds and rub on like an exfoliate. I get almost immediate relief. I rinse the grounds off with hot coffee. Also I have stood in my tub and poured coffee over. Don't rinse. Air dry. At least I can rest at night. Vinegar wash that's rubbed in with a rough wash cloth also gives some relief. Hard time reaching back. I know this sounds odd but try it maybe it will work for you.Replied by Linda (San Francisco, Ca, USA) on 03/01/2012
Hi Wilma, About reaching your back:
Go to your local Walmart and look in the personal care section, they have a long nylon (about 10" X 24") faux-loofa strip (made out of the same stuff those knitted nylon exfoliating gloves are made of) which is about $3. I find it invaluable for scrubbing my back. That should make it a lot easier for you.
Thanks for posting what has worked for you.
Linda
