If the lichen planus is a fungal infection of the nail (I don't know exactly what it is), I've had very good success on three occasions using pure coconut oil to clear up fungal infections underneath my fingernails. I just rub in the oil very well around and under the nail several times a day until the infection clears up. Apparently coconut oil has strong anti-fungal properties.
