Lichen planus
☆ Í niðurstöðum Stiftung Warentest 2022 frá Þýskalandi var ánægja neytenda með ModelDerm aðeins minni en með greiddum fjarlækningaráðgjöfum.
Breiðar skemmdir á báðum sköflungum eru óvenjulegar. Í þessu tilviki er yfirleitt meiri grunur um aðra langvinna ofnæmissjúkdóma (lichen simplex chronicus).

Lichen planus (LP) er langvarandi bólgusjúkdómur sem hefur aðallega áhrif á fullorðna á miðjum aldri. Það getur birst á húð eða slímhúð eins og munni, leggöngum, vélinda, raddhólfi og augnhúð. LP kemur í mismunandi formum eftir því hvernig útbrotin líta út og hvar þau birtast. Rannsóknir benda til þess að ákveðnar tegundir LP, eins og þær sem hafa áhrif á vélinda eða augu, gætu ekki verið greind nóg. Sumar gerðir af LP, eins og ofstækkun og veðrandi gerðir í munni, geta verið sérstaklega íþyngjandi og varað í langan tíma. Aðrir þættir eins og lyf eða snerting við ákveðin efni geta valdið útbrotum sem líta svipað út.
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that most often affects middle-aged adults. LP can involve the skin or mucous membranes including the oral, vulvovaginal, esophageal, laryngeal, and conjunctival mucosa. It has different variants based on the morphology of the lesions and the site of involvement. The literature suggests that certain presentations of the disease such as esophageal or ophthalmological involvement are underdiagnosed. The burden of the disease is higher in some variants including hypertrophic LP and erosive oral LP, which may have a more chronic pattern. LP can significantly affect the quality of life of patients as well. Drugs or contact allergens can cause lichenoid reactions as the main differential diagnosis of LP.

Lichen planus er húðsjúkdómur sem einkennist af fjólubláum, flattoppum höggum og blettum sem geta valdið miklum kláða. Þessar húðskemmdir geta verið pirrandi, sérstaklega þegar þær hafa alvarleg áhrif á munn eða kynfæri. Í alvarlegum tilfellum getur oral lichen planus jafnvel aukið hættuna á að fá einhvers konar húðkrabbamein. Það getur einnig haft áhrif á hársvörð og neglur. Þó orsök flestra tilfella sé óþekkt, geta sum verið af völdum ákveðinna lyfja eða lifrarbólgu C sýkingar.

Lichen planus is a skin condition marked by purplish, flat-topped bumps and patches that can cause intense itching. These skin lesions can be distressing, especially when they affect the mouth or genitals severely. In severe cases, oral lichen planus may even increase the risk of developing a type of skin cancer. It can also affect the scalp and nails. While the cause of most cases is unknown, some may be triggered by certain medications or hepatitis C infection. Treatment typically involves strong creams for localized cases and oral steroids for more widespread ones.

Lichen planus er ástand þar sem ónæmiskerfið veldur bólgu, sem veldur sérstökum blettum á húð og slímhúð. Það hefur áhrif á um 5% fullorðinna, oftar konur, og byrjar venjulega um miðjan aldur. Munnleg þátttaka sést í allt að 77% tilvika, aðallega áhrif á innri kinn. Þó að sumt fólk finni ekki fyrir neinum einkennum, geta aðrir fundið fyrir sársauka og átt í vandræðum með ákveðna matvæli (t. D. Súr, sterkan) eða tannkrem.
Lichen planus is an immune-mediated inflammatory condition leading to characteristic lesions on skin and mucous membranes. It presents in up to 5% of the general adult population with a female predilection (2:1); the onset is most commonly in middle age. Up to 77% of patients with lichen planus have oral disease, with buccal mucosa the most common subsite. The oral lesions may be asymptomatic, although a subset of patients have pain and difficulty tolerating certain foods (e.g., acidic, spicy) and toothpaste.

Til að staðfesta greiningu á lichen planus í húð er hægt að taka vefjasýni úr húð. Bein ónæmisflúrljómun (DIF) getur verið gagnleg hjá sjúklingum með bóluskemmdir til að greina ástandið frá sjálfsofnæmis blöðrusjúkdómi.
