10 Causes of Lichen Planus
Cause #4: Metals
There is a huge range of metals that we know of. Many of them, such as iron, gold, and silver are familiar to us. Others, though, are not so common and there are likely many you have never heard of. While we tend not to think of metals as something that can cause reactions, some people need to be mindful when coming into contact with them.
Because metals don’t usually cause reactions, they would not often spring to mind when looking for causes of a rash. That is unless you have been in contact with toxic metals such as lead or mercury. Don’t forget that we will also come into contact with metals through the food that we eat.
