Ive been dealing with lichen planus and noticed that the spots go away with treatment but seem to come back after a while. Is there a permanent cure for this or the best treatment to prevent them from regrowing?

Lichen planus spots can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol cream applied twice daily for several weeks. In more severe cases, oral corticosteroids like Prednisone may be prescribed for a short period. For long-term management and prevention of regrowth, topical immunomodulators like Tacrolimus ointment can be used. Additionally, antihistamines like Loratadine can help with itching. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.
