<bot>: **1. Since Lichen plans is an autoimmune condition thus treatment in Ayurveda is based on Immunomodulator [Malayan Nikita], and the disease has an overall good prognosis and resolves with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.2. Avoid:curd, salty/spicy/fermented food, bakery items, day time sleeping3. For external application, use Marichyadi tail and Kumkumadhya tail in equal quantity on rashes or pigmentation.4. Because Immune System has a role to play in the pathology, and skin infection of any type is precipitated by stress and disturbed immune system, thus Shankhpushpi, Karaganda, Brahmi, along with Sugar Parfait, Ashwagandha, Atari, as Immune modulators can be given after consulting Ayurveda Physician.
