My husband suffered many years with lichen planus.He received care from Tufts medical center in Boston ,Ma.
It's a dental school.
They put him on a cream called ,I'm pretty sure it was bethamethasone.You can google it
He put it on twice a day with a cotton ball.
He's been pain free.
If by chance,which is few and far between.
He just puts cream on ot,and within a day or so it's completely gone.You can be free of it.Good luck in your research.
Please let me know how it worked for you..

So sorry to hear such awful news.
My husband had lichen planus on the inside of his cheek.
It will stay dormer in his body forever.However if he's badly stresses there's a chance it will come back.Only once since his flair up did it come back. I thought I may have given you the wrong name.Ill.look for it and send the name off to you.
My suggestion to you would be Tufts school od dentistry.
The Dr he saw has since retired.I would highly recommend you to at least call there clinic.
My husband on his first visit was well taken care of.
I'll check for the cream. Good luck..
PLEASE, check for the cream, sincere thanks from the heart

Was your husband's oral lichen planus. My lichen planus is under the tongue area and on the tongue. I will google bethamethasone.
Any other info. Please send. The name of his physician. I traveled from Central Virginia to John Hopkins about a dozen times
and had part of my tongue removed. Now the lichen planus has started on the opposite side of mouth under the tongue.
Any information is greatly appreciated. UVA did not diagnosis soon enough and this stuff went into oral stage on cancer which
cost me part of my tongue, now I have scare tissue.....not good......and pain.....Thank you so very much for your input.
