For years, I have been plagued with lichens planus. No creams worked. I developed type 2 diabetes. After some research, I asked my doctor to prescribe Ozempic. My blood sugars came down to normal, I lost 20+ lbs. Lichens Planus disappeared without treatment. There are possibly several reasons for these results. 1.return of Blood sugar to normal. 2. Cholesterol return to normal. I choose to believe the Ozempic did it.
It would be good to see someone else try my approach. Beware Ozempic costs $900/month. Fortunately, if you are on Medicare A and B, they have a new plan whereby they cover the cost, and you can pay for it over the year in small payments until it is paid back. My insurance has an out-of-pocket copay sealing of $2000. Once you reach that out-of-pocket cost (approx. 2 mos. ) your out-of-pocket cost decreases.
