| − | Medical experts have been on the lookout for the a cure for Lichen planus that definitely works, and so far, they haven't been successful at it. Although Lichen planus can be treated, its possibilities of actually having a cure are still pretty much out of reach, at least in the conventional medicine sense. For purposes of discussion, we have to clearly differentiate alternative medicine from conventional medicine. Lichen planus cure seems to have been found in certain branches of alternative medicine, particularly homeopathy and the East's Ayuverda. But in conventional medicine, there doesn't seem to be any cure that is proclaimed with authority to actually be a cure for Lichen planus. But what contributes to the elusiveness of the ultimate cure of Lichen planus? Let us try our best to answer that question.

| − | Since it is next to impossible to find a specific bug, pathogen or causative agent to blame for the Lichen planus, looking for its cure has proven to be very difficult. It is also very difficult to try to relate it to a certain physiological process. This lack - or absence, really - of assurance when it comes to identifying the triggers and causes are pretty much what makes it even harder to find a Lichen planus cure that actually works.

| − | The fact that conventional medicine has not been able to find a cure for Lichen planus does not mean that there are no moves undertaken to resolve the problem. In the clinical setting, the Lichen planus has been found to be manageable, at least when it comes to its symptoms, by the development of several symptom-alleviation treatments. Inflammation is a typical symptom of Lichen planus. Thus, conventional medicine's treatments are centered on reducing the inflammatory symptoms. There are patients who consider themselves to be cured of Lichen planus once the inflammation has disappeared. But the fact remains that the inflammation could return at a later date. Thus, it is not really a cure. Instead of using the term 'cure', the word 'treatment' would be more applicable.

| − | When it comes to reducing or getting rid of the inflammation, patients have the option of making use of drug-based treatments for their Lichen planus or treatments that are not drug-based. Patients can choose one or the other to apply at one time, but not both. Simultaneous treatments using both are not done.

| − | You would have to treat Lichen planus just like any other inflammatory condition if you decide to go for a drug-based treatment. One such example of a drug-based treatment would be the use of the steroids line. It would be up to you whether you choose steroids that are taken orally or applied topically. You might also have heard about the effectiveness of retinoids when treating Lichen planus. Others have also used hydroxychloroquine and dapsone and experienced great results. Although they can effectively eliminate the inflammation and other symptoms, they still cannot fully [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen_planus cure] the patient of Lichen planus.

| − | Now let us look at the treatments that are not drug-based. One option that people could use in eliminating the inflammation would be phototherapy. Phototherapy uses Ultraviolet B or UVB narrowband to carry out the treatment. And then there are, of course, the supplements (aloe vera is a good example) that are known to be effective in dealing with inflammation.

| − | Now you know how conventional medicine goes about dealing with the condition known as Lichen planus. However, depending on your desire to get rid of your Lichen planus completely, you can go right ahead and use alternative medicine methods.
