- Stay Hydrated: Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to keep your skin hydrated and maintain overall health.
- Avoid Unhealthy Foods: Minimize consumption of fast food and foods containing artificial colors or preservatives, as they may worsen symptoms.
- Moisturize Regularly: Apply moisturizer to your skin after bathing and before bedtime to keep it hydrated and prevent dryness.
- Use Gentle Cleansers: Use a mild soap or body wash to avoid irritating the skin.
- Resist Scratching: Avoid scratching your skin to prevent further irritation and potential infection.
- Use Calendula Ointment: Apply homeopathic calendula ointment to the affected areas to soothe lesions and promote healing.
- Apply Hydrocortisone During Flare-ups: For aggravated lesions, use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream as needed. As homeopathic treatment takes effect, you may notice a reduced need for this cream over time.
- Manage Stress: Stress and anxiety can exacerbate lichen planus (LP). Practice yoga and meditation regularly to promote relaxation and overall well-being.
