@jshdma I don't think there is a cure for autoimmune diseases. As far as I know lichen planus is such a disease. From what I can see here the combination of the dexamethasone mouthwash and nystatin sounds like good advice. I acknowledge that these conditions are just plain awful.

I have been using this combination for 10 years and I am able to control oral LP. If I’m having an outbreak, rinse mouth 4 times a day. Only one doctor that I know of in this big city handles oral LP. Very sad. In response to LP being a autoimmune disease,it has not been proven.

@alpaca There may be no cure for autoimmune diseases, but there are some adequate treatments for other conditions in this category (e.g., diabetes). The several doctors in my experience know nothing about these conditions (especially BMS), and want nothing to do with them. A top specialist in oral pathology in NYC told me there is nothing to do with BMS, it usually goes away by itself, except sometimes it doesn't. And so I was dismissed.
