Has anyone found it difficult to get travel insurance? Most companies don't recognise the condition and so the premium is ridiculously high!

    I can't imagine why this would have any affect on travel insurance. It's not life threatening or debilitating or likely to require urgent medical treatment . Do people with eczema or psoriasis have difficulty or do they even mention it?

    Haven't tried to get travel insurance, but one option might be to get any claims for LP/OLP excluded- it would mean that you could not claim for it but my guess is it is not likely to cause a claim anyway?

     I always declare Lichen Sclerosis,  (my LP cleared up), and it does not affect the premium.

     We tend to suffer with it, not die or need emergency hospital treatment or repatriation for goodness sake. Go online, search around for a good deal !
