with dermatologist - Lichen Planus severe - medication not working
I attended the meeting with Margaret and her Dermatologist at Margaret's request. He
explained that he had done everything physically possible to help Margaret and in about
94% of the cases his treatments and medications are successful. However, in Margaret's
case he could not do any more for her and suggested that it is possible that her condition
