Hello @clora and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear that you are struggling and not seeing improvement.
I found this article on lichen planus that may be of interest to you as you explore where to go from here:
- Turmeric - A new treatment option for lichen planus: A pilot study
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3961895/
Like everything, it would be recommended to discuss with your doctor first. Have you heard of Turmeric before?

My only caveat is if you already have iron deficiency amenia, do not take tumeric. It chelates iron from yout body.

Yes, I have heard of it but not tried it. Will certainly give it a try. Thank You! Planning to also start an anti-inflammatory diet. I truly need to eliminate some foods I am allergic to but “cheat”. I also forgot to mention I do use a hairmax laser. Always looking to try new things that might help and I try to be optimistic. thanks again.
