Cold Compresses
Cold therapy is a simple treatment for lichen planus. You can purchase cold compresses in pharmacies or simply put a washcloth soaked in cold water on the affected area. Leave it to sit in place for several minutes to get temporary relief from itching. This home remedy can help you overcome discomfort when other treatments need time to take effect or when you only experience mild symptoms of lichen planus. Avoid scrubbing the affected site as it would lead to more irritation. Do not place raw ices directly on the skin as it would cause frostbites and skin irritation. [7]
