Stress: A Powerful Predictor of Lichen Planus

Living with lichen planus can be a very stressful experience. For many people, lichen planus can be painful, change your day-to-day routine, affect your relationships, and feel isolating. It is also well-known that stress can be a trigger of lichen planus flare-ups. If you can find ways to improve your stress levels, it's possible that you may experience fewer and less painful lichen planus flare-ups, and hopefully a better quality of life overall!

We developed a Toolkit of evidence-based strategies to help manage stress. Feel free to experiment and pick one or two strategies that work best for you!
