Lichenplanis is not a form of cancer. It is a rash that develops either as an adverse reaction to antihypertensive medications or as a result of being exposed to tremendous psychological stress. It is a rare disorder and once you break out with it, there is a small chance that later in life it will flare up again. If it does flare up again, it shouldn't after that. I have lichenplanis that flared up when I was around 12....it then re surfaced two years ago, which was 17 years later. Hope this helped.

Lichen planus is not considered precancerous, but some cases of lichen planus can increase the risk of developing certain types of skin cancer over time. It is important to monitor and manage lichen planus symptoms with the help of a healthcare provider to reduce this risk.
You cannot die from it alone. It mostly just causes discomfort, bleeding and pain. It usually goes away or a treatment by the doctor will help. However, though Lichen sclerosus does not cause skin cancer, the skin that is scarred by lichen sclerosus is more likely to develop skin cancer. If you have the disease, see the doctor every 6 to 12 months. The doctor can look at and treat any changes in the skin.
A basidiolichen is any form of lichen in which the fungus is a member of the Basidiomycota.
The Planis group
An algae and a fungus can form a symbiotic relationship into what is known as lichen. However, not all lichen contain a type of algae, a type of cyanobacteria and a fungus makes a lichen as well. Algae and Fungus (a.k.a.Lichen) associations may be considered as examples of mutualism, commensalism or even parasitism, depending on the species.

An example of a lichen is the reindeer lichen found in arctic and subarctic regions. This lichen forms a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga, growing on rocks, soil, or tree branches. Reindeer lichen is an important food source for animals like reindeer and caribou.
A lichen is eukaryotic.
