Child with LP

I have LPP (lichen planopilaris) which is a similar condition affecting the scalp. My Naturopath recommended "RED clover PLUS Salve" which I PURCHASED AT A HEALTH supplement store. mine has never developed to blisters, but it does relieve the itch and clears up the reddish brown patches on the back of my neck overnight or within a couple of days. i have started to try and rub it into my scalp a couple of times a week to try and reduce the redness and itch. BUT of COURSE I n eed to shampoo it out in the morning. i hope this helps your little one until you fnd a better alternative.

So sorry to hear Rebecca.

Take it one step at a time. There are lots of medication choices out there. spray, creams, oil based cremes etc. Steroid cremes have a habit of drying the skin and or making it thinner. So its a balance we have to strike. For my lips the docs gave me a oil based preparation with 1 % methy prednisolone. It was good as with lesions on lips its very difficult to use any other preparation. I am much better and so don't use the lip creme any more. Also you scar a lot when you have this condition. Usually you heal with out a scar. I would not use anything that dries the skin. A lot of products out there just suck the oil and other protective skin oils, which we then replace with expensive moisturisers or emulsions.

Avoid any stressors I suppose.

Cheers,
