@harishau I couldn’t find who mentioned Lyderm either, but I did find this from the National Institutes of Health which talks about best treatments.

I hope this will help!

Hi!
I have OLP also. In addition I have Esophageal Lichen Planus and Lichen Planus lesions on my legs etc...
I use the gel. It is a numbing gel.
I apply it in my mouth by putting a large drop on my finger and put it on lesions and sensitive areas. I do not swallow the gel.
The numbness lasts a short bit. It's a relief of of discomfort.
I also use Dexamethasone steroidal rinse This can only be used periodically for 10 days.
I don't swallow the solution.
Take care!🥰

@harishau I was the one who posted about Lyderm gel. It is a topical gel, but my pharmacist said it can also be an off label use for lichen planus inside the mouth.

I take a pea size amount on my finger and rub it on to the sore areas of my mouth. I leave it on for a minute and spit out. Don’t rinse mouth. And don’t eat anything for at least an hour after application.

Wash hands after using it.
