Lichen planus

2022-06-14 12:53:59
I had lichen planus from March in both hands and legs ( image attached). I have applied topical steroids like topisal and momate ointment. The skin has got removed by using these ointment. I wanted to ask does new skin appear and how long will it take? The scar from the lesions are looking very bad.
