Lichen Planus is a skin disease which is thought to be autoimmune in origin. It can affect many areas: the skin, inside the mouth, the genital area and more rarely can affect the nails, scalp, anus, oesophagus or tear ducts.
If you have a diagnosis of LP or know of someone who has the condition, then this is the place to come for up-to-date information and support.
LEAFLET NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN ESPAÑOL AND DANSK. FRANÇAIS, DEUTSCH AND ITALIANO COMING SOON!
Membership is just £5 per annum and allows additional access to the support forum, a quarterly newsletter and a discounted place at the annual workshop.
We have various boards on the forum, general discussions, male and female only zones and a separate space dedicated to parents, partners and close family members. There is also an area specifically for medical professionals; dermatologists, oral specialists, dentists and GP’s.
UKLP brings those affected by LP together. We encourage members to be as informed about their condition as possible and to take an active role in their treatment plan.
So if you are one of the 1 – 2 % of the worldwide population living with LP, join us to share your experiences, ideas and tips in a safe, confidential and respectful environment.
