Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER! The cause of lichens planus isn't well known, but you could try doing these things to prevent it from spreading or getting worse:
You can also avoid typical outbreak triggers, which include Hepatitis C infection, Hepatitis B vaccine, flu vaccine, certain chemicals, non-steroidal anit-inflammatory drugs and naproxen (Advil, Motrin, Aleve, etc.), and certain heart disease/blood pressure medications.
It's a good idea to talk to your dermatologist for a more specific treatment. Hope that helps!
Best,
Rebecca
