A member asked:
Could consuming raw garlic worsen/agravate lichen planus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Unless garlic is a trigger that will activate the body reaction. You can have food triggers that will start or aggravate lichen planus, though more likely from food coloring or flavoring. You can experiment your reaction to garlic by consuming it whithout other foods or drinks.
