Lichen planus is a condition that can cause swelling and irritation in the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. On the skin, lichen planus usually appears as purplish, itchy, flat bumps that develop over several weeks. In the mouth and other areas covered by a mucous membrane, lichen planus forms lacy white patches, sometimes with painful sores.
If you have tried high-dose topical corticosteroids and they did not work, you may qualify for a research study underway in Pflugerville to evaluate an investigational medication that may treat lichen planus. Find out if you qualify today.
Participation in this research study is voluntary.
