Please Note: Unfortunately the UKLP organisation has ended, there is no longer a committee or any meetings held. The site still has useful information for people struggling with LP so for that reason the website and forum will stay open as long as possible, you may still register, read old posts and make new ones but it will take a while before you receive a reply as the forum does not get used very much.
Lichen Planus is a skin disease which is thought to be autoimmune in origin. It can affect many areas; the skin, inside the mouth, the genital area and more rarely can affect the nails, scalp, anus, oesophagus or tear ducts.
UKLP brings those affected by LP together. We encourage members to be as informed about their condition as possible and to take an active role in their treatment plan.
So if you are one of the 1 – 2 % of the worldwide population living with LP, join us to share your experiences, ideas and tips in a safe, confidential and respectful environment.
NOTE: UK Lichen Planus does not offer medical advice or treatment recommendations. We do, however, recommend that you work with your medical professional to find your optimum treatment plan.
