I'm finally on remission from my skin Lichen Planus! 😭
I had the first signs of Skin Lichen Planus in 2023, after the most stressful period of my life so far (traveling abroad, planning my wedding, finishing and defending my thesis and my sister having her first child, all at the SAME time). It happened right after coming home from a waterpark trip, and getting this mosquito bites-like inflammation on my skin specially on my feet and legs, that turned into hyperpigmentation. I swore it was a fungus, but my doctor did a check up on me and told me the diagnosis.
The more I learned about this condition, the worse I felt. I covered my skin like I had a contagious disease. But with time, hydrating lotions, sun protection, a lot of cortocoids, vitamin D supplementation, going to an allergist, dental preventative check ups, retinol for the hyperpigmentation and PATIENCE, I finally look sooo much better now and feel more confident. Sending love to everybody going through this right now. 🫂🤍 I've had short remissions in between too, and I don't know how long this one will last, but I'm thankful nonetheless.
(Sorry about my English, I'm not a native speaker).
