Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my daughter has had lichen planus for several years, but the symptoms have not been completely relieved. Now she often has flare-ups, with pus on her feet. When it's severe, she can't even walk properly. Can lichen planus be cured?Doctor's answer:
The relief of such symptoms requires a comprehensive approach that combines the use of both Western and Chinese medicine. In Western medicine, the choice involves using vasodilator drugs for relief, while in Chinese medicine, herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis can be used. If possible, Danshen tablets or Danshen injection can be taken orally or used for anesthesia to provide relief. For local ulcers, sterilization and debridement should be performed first, followed by the application of Jiuyidan for healing.
