Reasons Why Treatments For Lichen Planus Are On The Expensive Side
If a person is suffering from lichen planus and he or she wants to be cured of it
, the treatments are bound to cause a huge dent on their finances. Thus, you could expect treatment for lichen planus to be rather costly. One would wonder then what makes these treatments expensive. Now, it becomes more a question of what makes the treatments so pricey that patients have no other alternative but to shell out that much amount of cash and resources. We will try to look into the answer to that particular question.
One reason why lichen planus treatments often cause so much is attributed to the fact that this condition could be quite tricky to diagnose. It could be that the patient had undergone a lot of tests and with various physicians until they finally come upon one who realizes that the condition is lichen planus. There is a corresponding cash outlay for every appointment or consultation you make with a doctor. In certain conditions where self-diagnosis by the patients can be made correctly, it is possible to lessen the treatment costs. However, one can hardly say the same for lichen planus.
Once the initial diagnosis has been made, it is highly likely that the patients would be dubious about it and refuse to believe it. That is another factor that drives the cost up. You can credit that to man's natural response to be pessimistic. Patients are predisposed to be disbelieving once they have been informed by their doctors that what they have is just lichen planus. It is their natural reaction to immediately presume that they are suffering something that is far worse than lichen planus. They therefore often end up seeking second and third opinions after the diagnosis: all the while incurring more and more costs (as the doctors offering the extra opinions have to be paid consultation fees).
The cost of treatment for lichen planus also tend to run high because trying to identify one specific regime that will effectively cure or treat it is not easy. Often, the trial and error approach has to be conducted by a doctor and the patient before they find a treatment that they both deem fully acceptable and very effective. While this trial and error approach is being undertaken, the patient has to sustain himself by buying the drugs necessary. By the time something that actually works is figured out, a lot of money has been expended in the 'trial and error' stage. It is a good thing, then, that as more and more information on the condition is accumulated, the need for trial therapies is considerably narrowing down.
Relief from the symptoms of lichen planus is something that can be found, and the patients can have a lot of assistance on that front. It is, however, very hard to cure it once and for all using conventional medicine. Patients who dare venture into the non-conventional (alternative) sphere of medicine may get lasting cures: so the situation is not so hopeless. Patients will be able to enjoy relief from the various symptoms of the condition for a long time, so it should not matter much that they had to spend a considerable amount of money for it.
