Greetings.! Steroids meant for leprosy patients ?!!! My dear patient. Are you one of those who likes to Google prescriptions and dig out details that you wouldn't understand. However, I think I know what you are talking about. Since you brought it up let me tell you, you may be mentioning dapsone. This is not a steroid. This is used in leprosy - yes. This is useful in lichen planus - yes. Any harm in taking it - no - if u take it as prescribed under due monitoring. So please follow up with a qualified dermatologist. Further queries may be sent on follow up messaging. Warm regards.
