Overview

A lot of people contract this disease with appearances on one or more parts of the body. It could be spotted on the skin or inside the mouth; sometimes appearing in both places at once.

Changes in the appearance of a person’s toenails or fingernails can be caused by lichen planus. You may even find it on the scalp or genitals! If you are noticing any of these changes in your body, you should visit our Dermatology Clinic London for a skin check.

Is Lichen planus Contagious?

No. This disease is not contagious at all! It cannot be contracted or passed on from person to person. Lichen planus is not a type of cancer contrary to what so many people believe. See our dermatologist Harley Street London for proper information and diagnosis of this skin disease.
