10 Causes of Lichen Planus
Cause #10: Genetics
Many conditions are a result of certain information being passed down in our DNA from our parents. It means that we can be more likely than others to develop certain conditions no matter what we might try to do to prevent it. Such conditions can range from being mildly annoying, to downright dangerous.
It is thought by some that genetics can also be an underlying factor behind lichen planus. There is a great deal of research that needs to be carried out and it is still not certain that a predisposition to lichen planus can be passed down in the family.
