Lichen planus

Alternative medicine

A couple of small clinical trials have suggested the benefit of aloe vera gel for treating lichen planus of the mouth and vulva.

Look into alternative medicine approaches that help reduce stress, as stress can worsen the signs and symptoms of lichen planus.

Talk with your doctor before trying an alternative treatment for lichen planus. Some alternative medicines or vitamin supplements result in serious adverse reactions when combined with prescription medicines.
