10 Causes of Lichen Planus
Cause #5: Chemicals
You usually won’t have to look far in the home before you find some kind of chemical. They are often excellent for cleaning and help to keep the home hygienic. They can be quite caustic, though, and should be used with caution. For some people, however, coming into contact with otherwise harmless chemicals can cause an unwelcome reaction.
Lichen planus can sometimes be triggered by coming into contact with chemicals. Photographers, in particular, are prone to developing lichen planus after coming into contact with chemicals used in the developing process. When working with chemicals, you should always try and use all necessary precautions.
