No. Lichen planus is a disease in which there is an itchy rash on the skin or in the mouth. The exact cause of lichen planus is unknown. However, it is likely to be related to an allergic or immune reaction. Risks include: Exposure to medications, dyes, and other chemical substances (including gold, antibiotics, arsenic, iodides, chloroquine, quinacrine, quinide, phenothiazines, and diuretics). Disorders such as Hepatitis can also lead to this. I hope this helps.
We have lots of effective treatments for toenail fungus. Go see your local podiatrist for help.

shock absorption and support is the key to overcoming this. Your cleats are probably a huge factor in this.
