Hello,
I am a beauty consultant with oriflame. U must try the oriflame even out face cream. yes it is a face cream. but it is so good that customers use it to their body to even out the skin tone. this product is so popular that as soon the stock is in it gets sold out. it also removes surgery marks, chicken pox marks and so on.

Hi manisha,
Can you tell me what is lichen Planus?
For scars and black dots you can use diprovate ointment. it is easily available in pharmacy. use little amount. this was prescribed for me by the doctor for black dots and marks. This is so helpful than others. even home remedies takes time to lighten the marks. This will work in 2 days.

Hi,
I found in the net about lichen planus and got this information. just have a glance. Diprovate ointment works better for dark black spots. Because i too had the same problem. I had lot of black spots on my backbody. i've to cover it in front of others. My doctor prescribed the ointment for mild usage. within two days, everything vanished. Thats why i asked what is lichen planus. avoid going out in this hot summer.

Definition of Lichen Planus
Lichen planus is a chronic, itchy skin disease of unknown cause, characterized by small, purplish bumps or patches of skin having fine, gray lines on the surface.
Description of Lichen Planus
Common sites of involvement are the flexor surfaces of wrists, forearms, ankles, abdomen, and sacrum. Nails may have ridges running lengthwise. On mucous membranes (e.g., the mouth), the membranes appear gray and lacy.


Episodes of disease activity, of which there are numerous variations, may last for months and may recur. In more extreme cases, patients are in pain, with erosions and ulcerated areas.
There seems to be a relationship between the oral form and the skin form of lichen planus in that almost half of those with the oral version also have it on the skin.
Causes and Risk Factors of Lichen Planus
It affects about 1 percent of the population, predominantly women, and usually appears during the fifth or sixth decade.


Possible causes of oral lichen planus include non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), iodides, tetracycline, gold, streptomycin, hydrochlorothiazide, dental fillings containing mercury in the form of amalgam (if the patient is allergic to mercury), and rough fillings.

Causes may have an allergic reaction pattern, particularly following exposure to dyes and color film developers.

Links have been seen with alopecia areata, vitiligo, chronic ulcerative colitis, and graft-versus-host reactions.
Symptoms of Lichen PlanusItching is mild to severe. The lesions are violet colored, flat-topped, bumps or patches discrete or in clusters, on the flexor surfaces of the wrists and on the penis, lips, tongue, and buccal (mouth) mucous membranes.


Mucosal lichen planus has been reported in the genital and anorectal areas. The papules may become bullous or ulcerated. The disease may be generalized.
Diagnosis of Lichen PlanusDiagnosis is based on the medical history and physical examination. A skin biopsy may be recommended.
Treatment of Lichen Planus
Patients with lichen planus are sometimes tense and nervous, and episodes of dermatitis may be temporarily related to emotional crises. Measures to relieve anxiety are helpful. Topical corticosteroids are often useful. Topical tretinoin cream 0.05% applied to mucosal lichen planus followed by topical corticosteroid cream may be beneficial.


In severe cases, oral corticosteroids may be prescribed. Psoralens plus long-wave ultraviolet light (PUVA) can be effective for chronic lichen planus.
Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Lichen Planus

• Do any tests need to be done to diagnose lichen planus or to rule out other diseases?
• What type of treatment will you be recommending?
• Will you be prescribing any medications?
  
  What are the side effects?
• If nothing is done about this problem, will it spontaneously go away?
  
  Can the lesions spread to other areas?
• What measures can be taken to help relieve the discomfort?

 

castor oil helps to remove dark marks n some skin problems... i removed some of it with castor oil. have to apply it every day on problem spots of skin atleast for 1 hour for one month. u will see result soon. also castor oil is very good for any hair. apply it on hair roots, eyebrows n eyelashes.... it will become thick n grow more quickly.

 

Hi Shel,
Can you please tell me which dark spots you were able to cure with Diprovate?
Lichen planus spots are very dark brown in color and the size ranges from a dot to a 1 rp coin size. these spots are very deep.
I've tried all sorts of creams/ointments like skinlite ,eukroma ,topical steroids with no luck ,please let me know if you think Diprovate works with this situation.

Thanks in advance ..
