[|Human|] hey, i have lichen planus . i consulted a dermatologist and was on costicosteriods for twice for two weeks each time, but the problem started again after 3-4 weeks. i get extremely small rashes which are not noticeable in the first couple of days. how do i prevent it from spreading now? Also, is it possible to permanently remove a couple of lichen planus patched that i ve had for over a year now?
