About Dr. Abrol

Lichen planus is a persistent inflammatory skin condition that can affect the skin, scalp, nails, and mucous membranes. Symptoms include itchy rashes, flat-topped purple bumps, and in some cases dark pigmentation that remains after healing.

At Dr. Abrol's Ayurvedic Clinic in Amritsar, we offer personalised herbal treatment for lichen planus - targeting both the symptoms and the root cause to restore healthy, even-toned skin without steroids.

In Ayurveda, lichen planus is classified under Kushta Roga, caused by imbalances in Pitta and Vata doshas. Pitta aggravation leads to heat, redness, and inflammation; Vata aggravation causes dryness, itching, and scaling. Poor digestion, toxin accumulation (Ama), and stress worsen the condition. Our goal is to restore balance, purify the blood, and strengthen immunity to prevent recurrences.

Lichen Planus - Frequently Asked Questions

Yes - our approach uses authentic Ayurvedic herbs, external lepas, and Panchakarma detox rather than chemical suppressants, personalised to your constitution.

LPP is a variant causing bluish-brown hyperpigmentation, often on the face, neck, and underarms. We address both active inflammation and residual pigmentation with a combined internal and external protocol.
