@ grammlyn OLP is treated with steroids, not always huge amounts. The right doc might be ENT or even dermatology. Try calling a medical school and get reference.

I’m just mentioning what worked for me recently was a pulse dose of steroids. Obviously one wouldn’t want to take a pulse dose of steroids chronically because it’s a pulse dose. For me recently, a small dose of steroids didn’t work either. I’m not sure a dermatologist would be skilled or proficient in treating OLP. Especially if a biopsy on an oral cavity was needing to be done. I would only recommend an oral surgeon for that if need be. An ENT might be useful, especially if mucous membranes are involved in the nose.
