  5. I had lichen planus on my foot about 2 years ago and it was treated successfully with Allegra 180 mg tablets and Halox S ointment. But now its starting again on my hands and face. Is there any advanced treatment like surgery that can permanently cure this? Are there any lifestyle changes I should make? My family and I are really worried, especially since its now on my face. Can you suggest what to do next?

Lichen planus can be challenging to treat, but there are options available. For the recurrence on your hands and face, you can try using Tacrolimus ointment along with Allegra 180 mg tablets. Tacrolimus ointment can help reduce inflammation and itching on the affected areas. Additionally, you can continue using Halox s ointment for relief. There is no high-end treatment like surgery to permanently cure lichen planus, but lifestyle changes can help manage the condition. Avoiding triggers such as stress, certain medications, and allergens can help prevent flare-ups.
