doctor,my blood platelets count is below 150.and i have black spots in my penis and when i consulted a doctor she said that it is annular lichen planus,and the co-doctor said that this is a symptom of HIV .im bothered as of now..what is the reason for this disease?
HiT hanks for your query. Based on your query, my opinion is1. Low platelet count is not linked to lichen plans.2. Presence of lichen plans does not indicate HIV.3. If you have got a blood test done and that is seropositve, then it indicates HIV.4. Your platelet counts are below the lower limit of normal range, so it can cause skin or mucosal bleeds with trivial injury.5. If you have bleeding symptoms seek immediate medical attention.6. Lichen plans is a sclerotic condition of the skin, not an infection, so not of much concern. Hope this helps. Regards
