Healing of the lichen ruber planus

Normally, the disease heals spontaneously on its own after a period of several months, with an average duration of one to two years. However, since the symptoms are very unpleasant and patients suffer from burning and itching, many sufferers undergo therapy. With treatment, the skin changes heal within 9 to 18 months. In about 10 – 15% of the patients relapses even several years after the healing of the nodular lichen.
