What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Lichen Planus?
Im trying to get a diagnosis. Nurse practitioner keeps saying herpes, but all tests and blood work came back negative. I believe its lichen. I have all symptoms and in a living hell. She will not do biopsy to confirm. Just keeps shoving valtrex down my throat. Help!
