A member asked:

How do i get rid of lichen planus? i suffered with skin blemishes on the lower body during school and it was gone for almost 10 yrs and it is back now

Metronidazole: Metronidazole is an oral medication which works for lichen planus. The discoloration however may require time and cream to fade even after the lesions flatten.
