Creams from lichen

Lishay refers to the widespread skin diseases that can be transmitted from person to person. The etiology of this disease is contagious, so no one is immune from infection, and first of all it concerns people with weakened immunity or with a special hypersensitivity of the organism. For treatment, the most commonly prescribed anti-hair loss cream is the most effective form of release of the drug, which provides direct contact with the affected area of the skin.
