I am diagnosed with a skin problem called lichen planus in Jan' 2005. At that time a dose of Omancortil 10mg was given for 10days along with Anti-histaminic Atarax 25mg. All these 5 years went fine, now this winter again I could see lichens coming up at some places and doctor suggested another 10 day dose of the same Omnacortil but this time its 20mg for 10 days. (once a day). I am now 37 yrs old and a weight og 86kg. I have two questions 1) What can be the side effects with this Omnacortil when taken for second time in last 5 years? 2) And are there any non-steroidal treatment for Lichen planus?

after 8 years i am totally week, my immuno system is reached a bad stage i am getting breathing problem almost twice in a year & sinus for life time. - all this happened because of a very good doctor's idiotic work.
please take second even third opinion is not waste.
