| description | This study reports the successful management of a recurrent, refractory skin disease diagnosed clinically as Cutaneous Lichen Planus (CLP) in a female patient with Ayurvedic treatment. A 42-year-old home maker from Coimbatore presented with blackish-red pigmented skin rashes and white streaks. Though mucous membranes were not affected, she did not respond to homoeopathic and biomedical treatment. The lesions were spread all over the body except for the face, scalp, axillary and genital region. In addition, she complained of dry skin, pain, and itching.The condition was treated as Kapha-Pitta dominant Tridoshaja Kushta based on Ayurvedic clinical assessment. The patient recovered after one year of conservative Ayurvedic intervention. After six years, there was a relapse, and the patient was admitted for a full course of Ayurvedic treatment and recovered within six months. Ayurvedic interventions should be considered an option in refractory skin diseases like Cutaneous Lichen Planus. |
