HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, lichen planus is skin disease of unknown origin while sclerosis is term used for some pathological changes and this may not be directly related to skin disease unless it is the condition of skin which becomes hard so some time it may called "Sclerosis" hope this information helps, take care, and have a nice day.
