   A young girl aged 26 yrs (PIN L-9221) came to the clinic with her parents. She had complaints of Lichen planus. There were vesicular eruptions i.e fluid filled eruptions with intense itching since 4 months. They were spreading rapidly since 2-3 months. The lichen planus had affected the hands, legs, thighs, chest and abdomen. Along with it there was darkening of the skin after exposure to sunlight. She was on steroids and antihistamines since 1 month. Her parents were extremely worried for her as she was about to get married in an years time. There was history of chronic constipation since many years, where she had to strain to pass stools and had an unsatisfied feeling after passing stools. This was accompanied by bleeding from the stools. She also complained of hairfall wherein she was losing more than 100 strands a day. There were recurrent headaches which were worsened by sunlight, looking downwards. The headaches were with a pulling sensation and continuous nausea. These headaches would come since 1 year about 3-4 times a month remaining for 1 hour every time. She was more comfortable in warm weather and used to sweat profusely. She lives in joint family and described her nature as extremely sensitive and one who cries easily. She felt better by sharing her feelings and talking about it. There was a strong family history of Lichen Planus for her father and sister. Dr Shah examined the patient and studied her case details thoroughly. The treatment was started. In 4 weeks, she reported of the itching to have reduced by 30%. This relieved her a lot. Treatment was continued on the same lines, in 8 weeks the spread of lichen planus was controlled.
