Diagnosed With Letian Plantitis, Having Painful Blisters All Over Her Body. Can You Give Me The Correct Spelling So I Can Research Information?

I am a mental health therapist and my client said that she has been diagnosed with letian plantitis (spelling probably wrong) which is a rare skin disease and I am trying to find out information. They have found nothing that works to treat her. It involves painful blisters all over her body. Can you give me the correct spelling so I can research information?

Hello,
She is most likely talking about Lichen planus, BUT it does NOT present with painful blisters. There are other blistering skin diseases that needs to be checked out with a proper Dermatology assessment.
I suggest you refer her to one.
