Did you know that potatoes can work as a natural form of bleach? Spuds can actually be used to brighten up scars or lighten dark patches of skin, especially those associated with lichen planus. All you have to do is cut a potato into several slices and dip each one into cold water. Then, gently massage your skin spots with the potato slice. You can repeat this process on a daily basis, but it is recommended as part of your nighttime regime. While the potato slices won’t help much with inflammation or itchiness, they can improve the dark scars from lichen planus lesions.
