Dr. Rajesh Shah's Insights on Lichen Planus
Dr Shah has developed certain new drugs (granted patents) which have shown encouraging efficacy in the treatment of Lichen planus. Based on our noteworthy clinical experience, long-term reliance on immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids—regardless of the form used—often does not provide sustainable relief in Lichen Planus. Homeopathy offers a personalized, immune-regulatory approach and has shown encouraging results in many cases and variants of this condition.
From a clinical perspective, cutaneous (skin) Lichen Planus is generally easier to manage, whereas oral and genital Lichen Planus tends to be more challenging. Cases involving multiple sites—such as the skin, mouth, genitals, and nails—are usually the most difficult to treat and require longer-term care.
In Dr. Rajesh Shah’s experience, Lichen Planus previously treated with corticosteroids is often more resistant to treatment. Cortisone use may be associated with relapse and can sometimes make the condition more difficult to manage. For this reason, homeopathic treatment is recommended as early as possible in the course of the disease.

What Is Lichen Planus?
Lichen planus is a chronic, autoimmune, non-infectious condition that can affect the skin, mouth, nails, scalp, and genitals. It presents as flat reddish-purple eruptions on the skin, while oral or genital involvement may show ulcers or erosions. Not everyone develops lesions in all areas at once, but it tends to be persistent and uncomfortable. A large percentage of individuals experience skin lesions, while a smaller group may develop oral, genital, nail, or scalp involvement depending on their susceptibility.
Understanding Lichen Planus
Types of Lichen Planus
Lichen Planus Pigmentosa
Causes dark brown or black patches on skin, often triggered by sun or friction.
Lichen Amyloidosis
Shows small raised brown bumps that merge over time, commonly on legs and forearms.
Lichen Sclerosus
Creates thin white fragile skin, usually affecting genital areas, common after menopause.
Lichen Nitidus
Presents tiny shiny skin-colored bumps resulting from localized inflammatory activity.
Our Expertise
- Since 1985, Life Force, under the leadership of Dr. Rajesh Shah, has treated and documented several thousand cases of Lichen Planus across its various forms, including skin, oral, genital, scalp, nail, pigmentosa, and lichen planopilaris variants.
- Patients from across the world have sought homeopathic care through both online consultations and in-person visits at our Mumbai centers. Many have experienced significant clinical improvement and long-term remission, although, like any medical approach, some cases have shown limited or no response.
- With this extensive clinical experience, Life Force recommends homeopathy as an important approach in the management of Lichen Planus. Globally, the condition affects approximately 1.9% of the population, with reported prevalence in India ranging from 0.5% to 2.6%, and a slightly higher incidence of oral Lichen Planus observed in females.
Homeopathy for Lichen Planus
Homeopathy offers a gentle, individualized approach to managing Lichen Planus by addressing underlying immune imbalances and supporting long-term symptom control. It may be suitable for various forms of the condition, including skin, oral, scalp, nail, and pigmentosa variants. With carefully selected remedies, homeopathic care aims to help regulate flare-ups, reduce discomfort, and support overall skin and mucosal health.
Based on clinical experience, cutaneous (skin) Lichen Planus often shows significant improvement with treatment. Oral and more generalized forms may experience sustained relief and, in selected cases, near-complete resolution. Nail involvement may also demonstrate meaningful recovery, although it typically requires longer treatment duration and close follow-up.
