Hugs and really don’t worry. A lot of time the treatment for 1 of them is similar or the same as the other when this happens just the dosage may be different. Get the book The Lupus Encyclopedia it will help you a lot. It is my go to resource for a lot of questions. You can get it on Amazon or maybe even check with the library. The bookstores usually don’t carry it because it is considered a resource book.

Agree with the others. Where there is one, other symptoms pop up. We have to remember our bodies want to be well and are clueless about the distinctions. The docs bill for every single diagnostic code so... that's all Im saying about that, lol! We're all just treating whatever symptoms arise. The Lichen Planus does look pretty scary! I remember first seeing it and saying out loud "what the heck is this???". Try not to worry and just continue to eat healthy and work on total body wellness. Stay encouraged!
