This past summer Ania, (our 7 year old daughter) was diagnosed with lichen planus. Most of our friends and family heard about this because I requested prayer. Originally I was not going to blog about this in detail but I think there is a cure?...and want nothing more than to help anyone else that suffers with this skin disease. Ania's first treatment was oral steroids for 3 weeks and then a topical steroid cream. Although this seemed to help, it was only temporarily and the rash returned. Recently, her Nana found tea tree oil and did some research on its many uses....we've been using it ever since and her skin is looking normal again. We not only apply tea tree oil directly to the rash areas but we also put it in her bath water. Tea tree oil apparently has many uses and has a nice aroma...for us this has been an exciting discovery that we wanted to share.
