What Is Lichen Planus?
4. Itching
One factor that can cause distress for the patient is that the affected patches of skin can be very itchy. As much as it can be irresistible to avoid scratching them, you should try and do so as much as you can. Excessive scratching can cause the skin to become broken, and this can cause the skin to become infected.
The affected areas will also sometimes develop blisters. These blisters will eventually burst, causing fluid to leak out of them. These blisters will then form crusts or scabs before eventually healing. Permanent scars will sometimes be left behind after the blisters/scabs have healed.
