Hi LP Suffers,

Hoping to share what I think worked for me because I understand how difficult this has been. I’m still not sure what’s triggering my LP. I’m fixated on season allergens in Georgia (which I never experienced before), tide laundry detergent, and potentially dust mites as a cause.

Skin Lichen Planus recently plagued my life in November 2024. It has been miserable. A real hell. After itching for about 2 months straight, with a dry scaly rash that wouldn’t stop spreading. I got a biopsy that revealed I had LP of the skin. Immediately overwhelmed by the news and learning about the incurable nature of LP, I begin to feel hopeless about treatment options. The dermatologist prescribed a topical steroid, that I was NOT about to take on an ongoing basis because topical steroid withdrawal is equally a pain in the ass. I’m also not a fan of treating symptoms.

So, I started reading. Thank god for the internet.

First thing I did was immediately, stop scratching to get the immune reaction under control. Rubbing has a better outcome now.

Stop showering so often until the rash clears.

I started taking 3 supplements. I was not expecting this to work, but it is!

- Vitafusion: B12 Vitamin
- Nature’s Bounty: Women’s Multi- Vitamin w/ Collagen
- Target Brand: Turmeric

A doctor online did also give Purslane a high recommendation, but my rashes started going away before I took 1 dosage of purslane pills.

I hope this helps someone somewhere! God bless!
