Yes, I have had this lichen planus since 2013, the way you handle stress has a large part in starting this condition and I believe it starts in the stomach at least mine did. I started using the anti yeast prescription pills and that helps. Vitamin 12 1,000 mg and liquid Vitamin B's help also.
Vitamin D 3 is important your doctor can give you Vitamin D in 50,000 units by prescription and then fall back to Vitamin D-3 Swanson.
My lichen planus is located under one side of my tongue and is raw. I found something that cools it down immediately "Dale Audrey
Cool Mint Ayurvedic Oral Pulling Rinse." I carry some in the small bottle in my purse.
Toothpaste would be "Biotene" Don't eat any processed foods. Only organic foods and NO sugar. only Truvia.
I will see a doctor in MD on Wed. so I will post end of week how that goes. I did not know that I also had a parotid salvia tumor
it was discovered in an unrelated scan from the errosive lichen planus that turned into cancer.
Erosive lichen planus should be checked every 3 months. It can turn to cancer quickly. Mine was stage 1.
I am working on the stress reduction with whatever it takes after the awful tongue cancer surgery.

I have been treated for lichen planus for about 4 years-biopsies showed erosive in some spots. I see my specialist in Cincinnati once per year. I really feel as though I don’t know what I am doing most of the time! My dentist just told me I should be having my teeth cleaned every 3 months because of the lp. I often have “sloughing off” of the inner cheeks but seldom have discomfort. Did you have spots in your mouth that alerted you to the possibility of cancer or was this a surprise?
I also have vaginal lp which seems even more confusing to me as I am often red “down there “ 🤷‍♀️
