At 56 I am having my second attach of Lichen Planus. I believe we are most likely predisposed to skin problems. I have had Exzema since I was a baby. I do believe stress will bring it on. Have you had skin problems before or Asthma? The first time it stayed with me for over 3 years. That time I was covered and it was very bad. This time it is not as severve but still irritating. Did you Lichen Planus break out first where you would have come into contact with your sheets?? Mine first broke out on my feet and I had been using a heated massage foot bath because of a crushed foot. Best, Dawn
